Reforms Carried Out
16 Then (A)Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king, that they would be the Lord’s people. 17 And all the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down, and they broke in pieces his altars and his images, and (B)killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 18 Moreover, Jehoiada placed the offices of the house of the Lord under the [a]authority of (C)the Levitical priests, (D)whom David had assigned over the house of the Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord, as it is written in the Law of Moses—(E)with rejoicing and singing according to the [b]order of David. 19 He stationed (F)the gatekeepers of the house of the Lord, so that no one would enter who was in any way unclean.

Jehoiada’s Reforms
16 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, the king, and the people that they would be the Lord’s people. 17 So all the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They broke its altars and images into pieces and killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, at the altars.(A)
18 Then Jehoiada put the oversight of the Lord’s temple into the hands of the Levitical priests,(B) whom David had appointed(C) over the Lord’s temple, to offer burnt offerings to the Lord as it is written in the law of Moses,(D) with rejoicing and song ordained by[a] David. 19 He stationed gatekeepers(E) at the gates of the Lord’s temple so that nothing unclean could enter for any reason.
