Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - All Judah; i.e. all those of Judah's provincial cities who had been honoured with summons to join in this great and solemn enterprise. Dismissed not the courses; i.e. the provincial Levites cooperated with the regulars of Jerusalem.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) The Levites and all Judah.--2Kings 11:9 reads, "the captains of the hundreds." The rest of the verse is the same in both narratives so far as the words "go out on the Sabbath."For Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.--The companies of priests and Levites, whose weekly duties had been fulfilled, and who under ordinary circumstances would have been formally "dismissed" by the high priest, were detained at the present emergency as auxiliaries to their brethren who were "coming in."Instead of this clause Kings has: "And they came to Jehoiada the priest," i.e., the captains of the hundreds came, to him; a remark which quite naturally preludes the statement of the next verse both there and here.
