Their role was crucial in teaching the Law and maintaining the spiritual life of Israel. The mention of specific Levites highlights the organized effort to instruct the people in the ways of God. Each name listed here represents individuals who were likely respected and recognized for their dedication to the Lord's service. The presence of these Levites underscores the importance of teaching and preserving the Law, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/33-10.htm">Deuteronomy 33:10</a>, where the Levites are tasked with teaching Jacob God's laws. This initiative reflects King Jehoshaphat's commitment to spiritual reform and the centrality of God's Word in the life of the nation.<p><b>along with the priests Elishama and Jehoram.</b><br>The priests, distinct from the Levites, were responsible for performing sacrifices and maintaining the temple rituals. Elishama and Jehoram, as priests, would have had the authority and knowledge to guide the people in proper worship and adherence to the Law. Their inclusion in this mission indicates a comprehensive approach to spiritual education, combining both teaching and ritual practice. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of the priesthood as mediators between God and the people, as seen in <a href="/exodus/28.htm">Exodus 28:1</a>, where Aaron and his sons are set apart for priestly duties. The involvement of priests in this context also foreshadows the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, who fulfills and transcends the Old Testament priesthood, as described in <a href="/hebrews/4-14.htm">Hebrews 4:14-16</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jehoshaphat.htm">Jehoshaphat</a></b><br>The king of Judah who initiated religious reforms and sent officials, Levites, and priests to teach the people the Law of the Lord.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/l/levites.htm">Levites</a></b><br>Members of the tribe of Levi, assigned to religious duties and teaching the Law.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/priests.htm">Priests</a></b><br>Religious leaders responsible for temple services and teaching the Law.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a></b><br>The southern kingdom of Israel, where Jehoshaphat reigned and implemented his reforms.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/teaching_mission.htm">Teaching Mission</a></b><br>The event where Jehoshaphat sent officials, Levites, and priests to educate the people in the Law of the Lord.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_teaching_god's_word.htm">The Importance of Teaching God's Word</a></b><br>Jehoshaphat's initiative underscores the necessity of teaching and understanding God's Word for spiritual growth and societal stability.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/role_of_spiritual_leaders.htm">Role of Spiritual Leaders</a></b><br>The Levites and priests exemplify the responsibility of spiritual leaders to educate and guide their communities in faith.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_engagement_in_faith.htm">Community Engagement in Faith</a></b><br>The mission to teach the Law highlights the importance of engaging the entire community in learning and living out God's commandments.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/continuity_of_god's_law.htm">Continuity of God's Law</a></b><br>The passage illustrates the continuity and relevance of God's Law across generations, urging believers to uphold and pass on biblical teachings.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/leadership_and_reform.htm">Leadership and Reform</a></b><br>Jehoshaphat's leadership demonstrates how godly reforms can lead to spiritual renewal and national blessing.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_2_chronicles_17.htm">Top 10 Lessons from 2 Chronicles 17</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_to_reconcile_1_chr_17_and_2_sam_7.htm">How do we reconcile the differences between 1 Chronicles 17 and 2 Samuel 7 regarding the details of God's covenant with David?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_levites'_lands_align_biblically.htm">In Joshua 14:3–4, how does the Levites’ lack of a territorial inheritance align with other biblical passages that mention Levitical cities and lands? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/evidence_for_levites_in_2_chr_23_8.htm">What evidence supports the existence of the Levites and captains mentioned in 2 Chronicles 23:8, and how do we reconcile any lack of external records?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_can_a_temple_contain_god.htm">In 2 Chronicles 2:4, how can a temple truly contain God if other passages assert He cannot be confined?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_chronicles/17.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(8) <span class= "bld">And with them he sent Levites.</span>--Rather, <span class= "ital">And with them were the Levites.</span> The construction being changed.
