Gill's Notes on the Bible

And brought in the offerings, and the tithes, and the dedicated things, faithfully,.... Kept nothing back for their own private use, but faithfully delivered in and laid up the whole that was brought which remained; this was done by the priests and Levites, in whose hands and care they were:

over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next; these two had the charge and care of the whole, the one as deputy to the other.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 31:12. Shimei - was the next. — He was assistant to Cononiah.
