2 Chronicles 35:15 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

2 Chronicles 35:15

13 Also they ^aroasted the Passover offerings with fire according to the ordinance; but the other holy offerings they ^bboiled in pots, in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them quickly among all the lay people.

14 Then afterward they prepared portions for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were busy in offering burnt offerings and fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared portions for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.

15 And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their places, according to the ^acommand of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer. Also the gatekeepers ^bwere at each gate; they did not have to leave their position, because their brethren the Levites prepared portions for them.

16 So all the service of the Lord was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord, according to the command of King Josiah.

17 And the children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the Feast of ^aUnleavened Bread for seven days.

2 Chronicles 35:15

And the singers . . ., were in their place—While the priests and people were so much engaged, the choir was not idle. They had to sing certain Psalms, namely, the hundred thirteenth to the hundred eighteenth inclusive, once, twice, and even a third time, during the continuance of each company of offerers. As they could not leave their posts, for the singing was resumed as every fresh company entered, the Levites prepared for them also; for the various bands relieved each other in turn, and while the general choir was doing duty, a portion of the tuneful brethren, relieved for a time, partook of the viands that were brought them.
