דברי הימים ב, פרק ל״א, פסוק ג׳

Taking personal responsibility for the spiritual life of the nation, the king ensures a steady supply of public sacrifices in the Temple. He steps forward to provide a substantial gift from his own personal assets to cover these costs [מצודת ציון, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. This contribution directly funds the daily morning and evening burnt offerings, as well as the additional sacrifices required for Sabbaths, New Moons, and festivals [רלב״ג, ביאור שטיינזלץ].

There are two ways to understand the exact nature and source of this royal gift. One perspective highlights the king's remarkable generosity. Out of a desire to ease the financial pressure on the public, he willingly volunteers to pay for all the public sacrifices using his own private wealth [רלב״ג]. He offers this freely as a generous gift to cover the expenses of the burnt offerings [רש״י, מצודת דוד].

On the other hand, a different approach suggests that the funds actually originate from the people themselves, representing a portion collected by the king. Because public sacrifices must be purchased exclusively with public funds, the king uses the money he has already gathered from the nation. Even though the funds are distributed from the royal treasury, this method ensures that the sacrifices rightfully maintain their required status as offerings bought with public money [מלבי״ם].
