2 Chronicles 31:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ However, the priests on duty at the Temple and their families^[a] were supplied directly from there, so they were not included in this distribution. ^17-18 The priests were listed in the genealogical register by clans, and the Levites twenty years old and older were listed under the names of their work corps. A regular food allotment was given to all families of properly registered priests, for they had no other source of income because their time and energies were devoted to the service of the Temple.
