Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

2 Chronicles 30:27

The priests the Levites; those of the Levites who were priests also; for to them only this work belonged, 1 Chronicles 23:13. Or, the priests and the Levites; for as the Levites did some other part of the priests work at this time, it is not strange if they did this also. Or the priests might bless by solemn pronunciation of the blessing, and the Levites by their acclamations, or with their musical instruments. Blessed the people; either commended them for their great zeal and diligence in God's service; or rather, solemnly prayed to God to bless them; and their prayer was not in vain, as the following words show.
