2 Chronicles 8:12-16

Christian Standard Bible

Public Worship Established at the Temple

¹² At that time^(A) Solomon offered burnt offerings to the Lord on the Lord’s altar he had made in front of the portico.^{(B) 13} He followed the daily requirement^(C) for offerings according to the commandment of Moses^(D) for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed festivals: the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters.^{(E) 14} According to the ordinances of his father David, he appointed the divisions of the priests over their service,^(F) of the Levites over their responsibilities to offer praise and to minister before the priests following the daily requirement,^(G) and of the gatekeepers by their divisions with respect to each temple gate,^(H) for this had been the command of David, the man of God.^{(I) 15} They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests and the Levites concerning any matter or concerning the treasuries.^{(J) 16} All of Solomon’s work was carried out from the day the foundation was laid for the Lord’s temple until it was finished. So the Lord’s temple was completed.
