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 smashed its altars and images 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.

Jehoiada's Reforms
16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king that they should be the Lord's people. 17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down; his altars and his images they broke in pieces, (A)and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 18 And Jehoiada posted watchmen for the house of the Lord under the direction of (B)the Levitical priests and the Levites (C)whom David had organized to be in charge of the house of the Lord, to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, (D)as it is written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, (E)according to the order of David. 19 He stationed (F)the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the Lord so that no one should enter who was in any way unclean.
