His princes gave for a freewill- offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred [small cattle], and three hundred oxen.

Leaders Gave Generously

Commentators highlight that the 'princes' mentioned were not secular nobles but the religious leaders themselves: High Priest Hilkiah and other temple rulers. Following King Josiah's example, they generously gave from their own resources to ensure that even the poorer priests and Levites could fully participate in the Passover celebration. This demonstrates leadership through sacrificial giving.
