2 Chronicles 31:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 31:15

And next to him were Eden and Mijamin, and Jeshua, and
Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah
As Kore was the principal, and his business lay chiefly with the priests in the temple, and in Jerusalem, these men under him were employed in distributing to the priests,

in the cities of the priests;
in the several parts of the country:

in their set office;
or faithfully:

to give to their brethren by courses,
as well to the great as to the small; to communicate of the stores under their hands, according to their several courses, both priests and Levites, and to all in their families, small and great.
