2 Chronicles 23:16-19
Lexham English Bible
16 And Jehoiada made[a] a covenant between himself and all the people and the king, that they should be Yahweh’s people. 17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal and broke it down. And they smashed his altars and his images, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 18 And Jehoiada placed appointees at the house of Yahweh under the hand of the Levitical priests whom David had allotted to the house of Yahweh to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh as was written in the law of Moses, with joy and with song, according to the order of David.[b] 19 And he set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of Yahweh so that no person unclean with respect to any matter could enter.
