2 Chronicles 23:17-19
GOD’S WORD Translation
17 Then all the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed Baal’s altars and his statues and killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars.
18 Next, Jehoiada appointed officials to be in charge of the Lord’s temple under the direction of the priests and Levites.[a] (David had arranged them in divisions for the Lord’s temple. They were appointed to sacrifice burnt offerings to the Lord as it is written in Moses’ Teachings. They made these offerings with joy and singing as David had directed.) 19 Jehoiada appointed gatekeepers for the gates of the Lord’s temple so that no one who was unclean [b] for any reason could enter.
