So the service was prepared
This phrase indicates a meticulous and reverent preparation for the Passover service, reflecting the importance of worship in the life of Israel. The Hebrew root for "prepared" is "כּוּן" (kun), which conveys the idea of being established or made ready. This preparation was not merely logistical but spiritual, ensuring that everything was in accordance with God's commandments. Historically, this preparation underscores the revival under King Josiah, who sought to restore true worship in Judah, aligning with the covenantal faithfulness expected by God.

the priests stood in their places
The priests, descendants of Aaron, had specific roles in the sacrificial system. The Hebrew word for "stood" is "עָמַד" (amad), meaning to stand firm or take a stand. This signifies their readiness and dedication to perform their sacred duties. In the historical context, this was a time of religious reform, and the priests' standing in their places symbolizes a return to proper worship practices. It reflects the order and structure God ordained for His people, emphasizing the importance of obedience and reverence in worship.

and the Levites in their divisions
The Levites, from the tribe of Levi, were set apart for service in the temple. The phrase "in their divisions" indicates an organized and systematic approach to their duties. The Hebrew root "חָלַק" (chalaq) means to divide or apportion, highlighting the structured nature of their service. This organization was crucial for the smooth operation of temple worship and reflects the broader biblical principle of order in God's creation. Historically, this division of labor ensured that the worship of God was conducted with excellence and precision.

according to the king’s command
King Josiah's command reflects his commitment to restoring the worship of Yahweh according to the Law of Moses. The Hebrew word for "command" is "מִצְוָה" (mitzvah), which often refers to a divine commandment. Josiah's leadership was instrumental in guiding the nation back to covenant faithfulness. This phrase underscores the role of godly leadership in directing the people towards righteousness and obedience to God's laws. It serves as a reminder of the impact that leaders can have in shaping the spiritual direction of a community or nation.

(10) So the service was prepared.--The preparations were completed. (See 2Chronicles 35:4; 2Chronicles 35:16)

In their place.--On their stand (2Chronicles 30:16).

Verse 10. - According to the king's commandment (see 2 Chronicles 30:16, where the sanction is referred further back, "according to the Law of Moses, the man of God").
