| II Chronicles 23:8
| So the Levites, and all Juda, did according to all that Joiada, the high priest, had commanded: and they took every one his men that were under him, and that came in by the course of the sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the sabbath, and were to go out. For Joiada, the high priest, permitted not the companies to depart, which were accustomed to succeed one another every week.
| High. Hebrew, "the priest dismissed not the courses." (Haydock) --- In case of right and necessity, we see here what the high priest could do, though otherwise he would not interfere. (Worthington)
