Kore, the son of Imnah the Levite, was appointed by King Hezekiah to be in charge of distributing the freewill offerings, contributions, and dedicated gifts brought to the temple (2Ch 31:14). He served at the East Gate and was responsible for ensuring that the offerings were properly distributed among the priests and Levites according to their divisions (2Ch 31:15). Kore's appointment demonstrates Hezekiah's efforts to restore proper worship and support for the Levites during his reign.
