2 Chronicles23:18
18 Also Jehojada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt-offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoycing and singing, as it was ordained by David.
Or, as it is in the Hebrew, put the offices of the house of the Lord into the hand, i. e. he restored the Priests and Levites, either 1. to theirplaces and offices, which possibly in the time of the Idolatrous Kings, and of Athaliah, had been disposed of to persons of other Tribes, partly to gratifie their wicked friends, and partly to bring Gods House and Worship into disgrace: Or 2. to the exercise of their offices, from which they had been in a great measure hindred.
