What is the connection between not giving Matanos Leviyim and the Leviyim fleeing?

1.

Rashi: Because the Matanos were not given there (in the chamber), Leviyim went to and fro to request their Matanos, and did not engage in their Avodah so much.

2.

Malbim: Because they did not receive their Ma'aser, they abandoned it, and went to engage in working their fields.
