2 Chronicles 35:15

15 The Asaphite singers also remained at their stations as ordered by David, Asaph, Heman, and the king's seer Jeduthun, as did the guards at the various gates. They didn't need to leave their tasks because their fellow Levites prepared food for them.

2 Chronicles 35:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 35:15

And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place
In the court of the priests, singing and playing on their instruments while the sacrifices were offering:

according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and
Jeduthun the king's seer;
the same with Ethan; and everyone were seers, as Jarchi interprets it, that is, the three last:

and the porters waited at every gate;
such of the Levites as were in, that post and office:

they might not depart from their service;
to let people in and out, that came for their passover lamb, and share in their other offerings:

for their brethren the Levites prepared for them;
because they were not at leisure to prepare for themselves.

2 Chronicles 35:15 In-Context

13 They roasted the Passover lambs in the fire as instructed, cooked the holy offerings in pots, kettles, and pans, and brought them quickly to all the laypeople.
14 Next they prepared food for themselves and for the priests. Since the priests, Aaron's descendants, were busy offering up the entirely burned offerings and fat pieces until nighttime, the Levites prepared food for themselves and for the priests, Aaron's descendants.
15 The Asaphite singers also remained at their stations as ordered by David, Asaph, Heman, and the king's seer Jeduthun, as did the guards at the various gates. They didn't need to leave their tasks because their fellow Levites prepared food for them.
16 So on that day all of the LORD's service was prepared for celebrating Passover and offering up entirely burned offerings on the LORD's altar, just as King Josiah had ordered.
17 The Israelites who were present celebrated the Passover at that time, and observed the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
