Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Chronicles 31:18

18 And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation : for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness.

This is alledged as a Reason why their Wives and Children were provided for out of the Holy things, because they sequestred themselves from worldly Affairs, by which they might otherwise have provided for their Families, and intirely devoted themselves to Holy Administrations.
