George Haydock's Catholic Commentary

2 Chronicles 5:11

Sanctified; free from all legal impediments to offer sacrifice. (Haydock) --- Divided. Hebrew, "observed." (Tirinus) --- Protestants, "and they did not then wait by course," which was the case also with the singers, &c., on this solemn occasion; as the number regulated by David for each week, would not have been sufficient. (Haydock) --- The regulation had not yet been reduced to practice. (Menochius) (Calmet) --- As yet (Du Hamel) at that time, is omitted (Haydock) by the Septuagint (Du Hamel) and Hebrew.
