The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(13) Even after a certain rate every day.—Literally, and with a day’s matter on a day (Lev_23:37) they had to offer (infinitive construct, as at 1Ch_13:4; 1Ch_15:2), or, perhaps, he would offer.

The solemn feasts.—Literally, set seasons, viz., the three great festivals whose designations follow. (The form mô‘adôth for mô‘adîm occurs here only.)

John Gill's Exposition

And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites,.... The priests and Levites departed not from it, not from the commandment of Solomon, according to the order of David, but in all things obeyed it:

concerning any matter; which related to the office of either of them, sacrificers, singers, or porters:

or concerning the treasures; such of the Levites as had the care of them were faithful to their trust, see Ch1 26:20, &c.

2 Chronicles, in the Historical, opens this verse with 18 words (15 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is shâbûwaʻ (“week”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “week” (shâbûwaʻ) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. Genesis 29:27 shares the word «week» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. “feast” occurs 3× in this one verse. What is the effect of the repetition?
  4. The translations on this page render this verse differently — a whole-verse word diff, not a word-by-word alignment. What might account for the different wordings?
  5. The verb «לְהַעֲלוֹת֙» is Hiphil Infinitive Construct. How does its form color the action?
  6. Reading how Trapp's Complete Commentary and Geneva Bible (1599) read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
