See the marginal references and note. 2Ch 35:8 His princes - i. e. his ecclesiastical princes, the chief men of the priests and Levites. For the poor families of their own order the leading priests furnished both Passover-cattle and cattle for thank-offerings. The chief Levites acted similarly toward the poor Levitical families.
This site's exposition
of the king’s substance
on 2 Chronicles 35:7-9
Josiah supplies thirty thousand lambs and kids and three thousand bullocks of his own substance, and his princes and the named chiefs of the priests and Levites, Hilkiah, Zechariah and Jehiel, then Conaniah, Shemaiah, Nethaneel, Hashabiah, Jeiel and Jozabad, add several thousand more on top of it, a larger provision than the king and princes together made for Hezekiah's passover in chapter 30. Chronicles keeps the names of the givers, the same instinct that names potters and gardeners at 1 Chr 4:23 for ordinary service done for the king.
