2 Chronicles 17:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 17:8

And with them he sent Levites
With the five princes he sent nine Levites:

even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and
Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and
Tobadonijah, Levites;
of whom we nowhere else read; no doubt they were principal persons, and fit for the work they were sent about:

and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests;
whose lips were to keep knowledge, and at whose mouth the law was to be sought, ( Malachi 2:7 ) .

6 cumque sumpsisset cor eius audaciam propter vias Domini etiam excelsa et lucos de Iuda abstulit

7 tertio autem anno regni sui misit de principibus suis Benail et Obdiam et Zacchariam et Nathanahel et Micheam ut docerent in civitatibus Iuda

8 et cum eis Levitas Semeiam et Nathaniam et Zabadiam Asahel quoque et Semiramoth et Ionathan Adoniam et Tobiam et Tobadoniam Levitas et cum eis Elisama et Ioram sacerdotes

9 docebantque in Iuda habentes librum legis Domini et circuibant cunctas urbes Iuda atque erudiebant populum

10 itaque factus est pavor Domini super omnia regna terrarum quae erant per gyrum Iuda nec audebant bellare contra Iosaphat
