2 Chronicles 8:14

14 In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.

2 Chronicles 8:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 8:14

And he appointed, according to the order of David his father,
the courses of the priests to their service
The twenty four courses which served weekly in their turns, ( 1 Chronicles 24:1-31 )

and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the
priests, as duty of every day required;
who also had their courses by lot, to sing the praises of God, when the priests sacrificed, or blew the trumpets, ( 1 Chronicles 25:1-31 ) ,

the porters also by their courses at every gate;
from hence Dr. Lightfoot concludes that these were divided into twenty four classes, as the priests and Levite singers were:

for so had David the man of God commanded,
( 1 Chronicles 26:1-32 ) , who in all these affairs acted as a prophet, under the inspiration and direction of the Holy Spirit of God.

2 Chronicles 8:14 In-Context

12 At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.

13 He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

14 In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.

15 They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites in any matter, including that of the treasuries.

16 Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
