2 Chronicles 23:18-20

New English Translation

¹⁸ Jehoiada then assigned the duties of the Lord’s temple to the priests, the Levites whom David had assigned to the Lord’s temple. They were responsible for offering burnt sacrifices to the Lord with joy and music, according to^[a] the law of Moses and the edict of David. ¹⁹ He posted guards at the gates of the Lord’s temple, so no one who was ceremonially unclean in any way could enter. ²⁰ He summoned^[b] the officers of the units of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people, and all the people of the land, and he then led the king down from the Lord’s temple. They entered the royal palace through the Upper Gate and seated the king on the royal throne.
