Malachi 3:10
New King James Version
10 (A)Bring all the tithes into the (B)storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“If I will not open for you the (C)windows of heaven
And (D)pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
2 Corinthians 9:6-8
New King James Version
The Cheerful Giver
6 (A)But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows [a]bountifully will also reap [b]bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, (B)not grudgingly or of [c]necessity; for (C)God loves a cheerful giver. 8 (D)And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

Nehemiah 13:10-13
New King James Version
10 I also realized that the portions for the Levites had (A)not been given them; for each of the Levites and the singers who did the work had gone back to (B)his field. 11 So (C)I contended with the rulers, and said, (D)“Why is the house of God forsaken?” And I gathered them together and set them in their place. 12 (E)Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the storehouse. 13 (F)And I appointed as treasurers over the storehouse Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah; and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were considered (G)faithful, and their task was to distribute to their brethren.

2 Chronicles 31:4-19
New King James Version
4 Moreover he commanded the people who dwelt in Jerusalem to contribute (A)support[a] for the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to (B)the Law of the Lord.
5 As soon as the commandment was circulated, the children of Israel brought in abundance (C)the firstfruits of grain and wine, oil and honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the (D)tithe of everything. 6 And the children of Israel and Judah, who dwelt in the cities of Judah, brought the tithe of oxen and sheep; also the (E)tithe of holy things which were consecrated to the Lord their God they laid in heaps.
7 In the third month they began laying them in heaps, and they finished in the seventh month. 8 And when Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord and His people Israel. 9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. 10 And Azariah the chief priest, from the (F)house of Zadok, answered him and said, (G)“Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat and have plenty left, for the Lord has blessed His people; and what is left is this great (H)abundance.”
11 Now Hezekiah commanded them to prepare (I)rooms[b] in the house of the Lord, and they prepared them. 12 Then they faithfully brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things; (J)Cononiah the Levite had charge of them, and Shimei his brother was the next. 13 Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the (K)ruler of the house of God. 14 Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was over the (L)freewill offerings to God, to distribute the offerings of the Lord and the most holy things. 15 And under him were (M)Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, his faithful assistants in (N)the cities of the priests, to distribute (O)allotments to their brethren by divisions, to the great as well as the small.
16 Besides those males from three years old and up who were written in the genealogy, they distributed to everyone who entered the house of the Lord his daily portion for the work of his service, by his division, 17 and to the priests who were written in the genealogy according to their father’s house, and to the Levites (P)from twenty years old and up according to their work, by their divisions, 18 and to all who were written in the genealogy—their little ones and their wives, their sons and daughters, the whole company of them—for in their faithfulness they [c]sanctified themselves in holiness.
19 Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in (Q)the fields of the common-lands of their cities, in every single city, there were men who were (R)designated by name to distribute portions to all the males among the priests and to all who were listed by genealogies among the Levites.
