2 Chronicles 23:16-18
Names of God Bible
16 Jehoiada made a promise to the Lord on behalf of the king and his people that they would be Yahweh’s people. 17 Then all the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed Baal’s altars and his statues and killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars.
18 Next, Jehoiada appointed officials to be in charge of Yahweh’s temple under the direction of the priests and Levites.[a] (David had arranged them in divisions for Yahweh’s temple. They were appointed to sacrifice burnt offerings to Yahweh as it is written in Moses’ Teachings. They made these offerings with joy and singing as David had directed.)
