John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 5. And stand in the holy place , etc.] The court of the priests, where their ministrations were: according to the divisions of the families of your brethren the people ; of the other tribes, who were according to their families to provide a lamb for the passover: and after the division of the families of the Levites ; who were obliged to observe the same ordinance in their respective families, and for whom, as well as for the other families of Israel, they were to slay the lamb.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-19 - The destruction Josiah made of idolatry, was more largely related in the book of Kings. His solemnizing the passover is related here. The Lord's supper resembles the passover more than any other of the Jewis festivals; and the due observance of that ordinance, is a proof of growing piety and devotion. God alone can truly make our hearts holy and prepare them for his holy services; but there are duties belongin to us, in doing which we obtain this blessing from the Lord.
