2 Chronicles 23:16-19

Jehoiada Restores the Worship of the LORD

16 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people. ¹

17 So all the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces and killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars.

18 Moreover, Jehoiada put the oversight of the house of the LORD into the hands of the Levitical priests, whom David had appointed over the house of the LORD, to offer burnt offerings to the LORD as written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and song, as ordained by David.

19 He stationed gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the LORD, so that no one who was in any way unclean could enter.
