¹⁸ Jehoiada appointed the priests and^[a] Levites in charge of the Lord’s temple, and then appointed the divisions of the priests and Levites^[b] that David had assigned to the Lord’s temple to offer entirely burned sacrifices to the Lord, as written in the Instruction from Moses, with rejoicing and singing, just as David had ordered. ¹⁹ He posted guards at the gates of the Lord’s temple so that no one who was unclean in any way could enter. ²⁰ Then he took the unit commanders, the officials, the rulers of the people, and all the people of the land, and they led the king down from the Lord’s temple, processing through the Upper Gate to the palace, where the king sat upon the royal throne.
