(8) And his princes . . . Levites.--And his princes for a free-will offering (Leviticus 7:16) to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites had presented heave-offerings. How many victims they gave is not specified. Some words may have fallen out of the text. (Comp. 2Chronicles 30:24.) Hilkiah is introduced quite abruptly in the text as it stands.

Rulers of the house of God.--2Chronicles 31:13; 1Chronicles 9:11. Hilkiah was high priest (2Chronicles 34:9); Zechariah perhaps his deputy, "the second priest" (2Kings 25:18); Jehiel may have been the head of the line of Ithamar, which still existed even after the return (Ezra 8:2). . . .

Verse 8. - The princes; i.e. the three immediately mentioned by name. Jehiel (see Ezra 8:2).
