Lexham English Bible

Celebration at the Temple

⁴⁴ On that day men were appointed for the storehouse rooms, the offerings, the first fruits, and the tithes, in order to gather in them from the fields of the cities the requirements of the law^[a] for the priests and Levites; for the joy of Judah was upon the priests and Levites standing there. ⁴⁵ They kept the responsibility of their God and the responsibility of cleansing, and the singers and gatekeepers, according to the command of David and his son Solomon. ⁴⁶ For in the days of David and Asaph from ancient times there was the head of the singers and a song of praise and thanksgiving to God.
