2 Cronache 23:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 23:9

And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons,
&c.] To be their ministers and servants:

they [are] wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel:
even all of them entirely, none excepted; the whole tribe which were not in the priestly office; those were separated from the rest of the tribes of Israel, and appointed for the service of the priests: or they were "given, given" F17; which is repeated not only to show that they were wholly given, as we render it, but to denote the certainty of it, that they were really given; and especially to declare the freeness of the gift; the priests had them as free gifts, nor did they pay them any thing for, their service; they were maintained another way, namely, by the tithes of the people; and indeed the priests received a tithe out of the tithe of the Levites; so far were they from contributing any thing to their support, or in consideration of the service they did them.

2 Cronache 23:2 In-Context

1 Ma l’anno settimo, Gioiada si fortificò, e prese seco questi capi di centinaia, coi quali egli fece lega, cioè: Azaria, figliuolo di Ieroham; ed Ismaele, figliuolo di Iohanan; ed Azaria, figluolo di Obed; e Maaseia, figliuolo di Adaia; ed Elisafat, figliuolo di Zicri.
2 Ed essi andarono attorno per lo paese di Giuda, ed adunarono, da tutte le città di Giuda, i Leviti e i capi delle famiglie paterne d’Israele; e vennero in Gerusalemme.
3 E tutta quella raunanza fece lega col re, nella Casa di Dio. E Gioiada disse loro: Ecco, il figliuol del re regnerà, come il Signore ha promesso a’ figliuoli di Davide.
4 Questo è quello che voi farete: La terza parte di voi, cioè quelli ch’entrano in settimana, così sacerdoti come Leviti, sieno per portinai alle soglie delle porte
5 e l’altra terza parte alla casa del re; e l’altra terza parte alla porta del fondamento; e tutto il popolo sia ne’ cortili della Casa del Signore.
