Chronicles II 13:11

11 they sacrifice to the Lord whole-burnt-offering, morning and evening, and compound incense, and the shewbread on the pure table; and the golden candlestick, and the lamps for burning, to light in the evening: for we keep the charge of the Lord God of our fathers; but ye have forsaken him.

Chronicles II 13:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 13:11

And they burn unto the Lord, every morning and every evening,
burnt sacrifices and sweet incense
That is, the priests; the one they did on the altar of burnt offering, and the other on the altar of incense, and both every day, morning and evening:

the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table;
the shewbread table, every sabbath day, when they took the old bread off, which had stood there a week:

and the candlestick of gold, with the lamps thereof, to burn every
evening;
these were lighted every evening, and dressed every morning; and though there were ten tables and ten candlesticks in Solomon's temple, yet only one of each was used at a time; and therefore from hence it is not to be concluded that all the rest were taken away by Shishak:

for we keep the charge of the Lord our God;
observe all the rites and ceremonies, laws, and ordinances enjoined by him; the Targum is,

``the charge of the Word of the Lord our God:''

but ye have forsaken him;
his fear or worship, as the same paraphrase.

Chronicles II 13:11 In-Context

9 Did ye not cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make to yourselves priests of the people of any land? whoever came to consecrate himself with a calf of the heard and seven rams, he forthwith became a priest to that which is no god.

10 But we have not forsaken the Lord our God, and his priests, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, minister to the Lord; and in their daily courses

11 they sacrifice to the Lord whole-burnt-offering, morning and evening, and compound incense, and the shewbread on the pure table; and the golden candlestick, and the lamps for burning, to light in the evening: for we keep the charge of the Lord God of our fathers; but ye have forsaken him.

12 And, behold, the Lord and his priests are with us at our head, and the signal trumpets to sound an alarm over us. Children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of our fathers; for ye shall not prosper.

13 Now Jeroboam had caused an ambush to come round upon him from behind: and he was before Juda, and the ambush behind.
