What is Revenue?
        REVENUE
     In its first days, up to the time of the kings, the Hebrew commonwealth knew of no public revenues. Imposts were made for religious purposes, but all public works, properly speaking, such as fortifications, or even the erection of the tabernacle, were made by free-will contributions. With the kings came the revenues. The revenues of Saul and David seem, however, to have consisted principally in war-spoils and presents, but Solomon introduced a regular system of taxation, which was continued under Persian and Roman rule. Ezr 4:13.
