Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, Since [the people] began to bring the offerings into the house of Yahweh, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty: for Yahweh has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.

God's Two-Fold Blessing

The priest Azariah attributes the overflowing storehouses to God's blessing. Commentators note this was a two-part blessing: God first provided an abundant harvest, making the people able to give, and then He gave them a "ready willing mind" to bring their tithes generously. True generosity flows from both God's provision and His work in our hearts.
