2 Kings 23:9
The priest — Who worshipped the true God there. In Jerusalem — Were not suffered to come thither to the exercise of their priestly function; as a just punishment for the corruption of God's worship, and the transgression of so plain and positive a law of God, Deuteronomy 12:11, which was much worse in them who had more knowledge to discern the will of God, and more obligations to observe it. Did eat — Of the meal — offerings, allotted to the priests, wherein there was to be no leaven, Leviticus 2:4-5, Leviticus 2:10-11, and consequently of other provisions belonging to the priests, which are contained under this one kind. Thus their spiritual blemish puts them into the very same state which corporal blemishes brought them, Leviticus 21:17, &c. And thus he mitigates their punishment: he shuts them out from spiritual services, but allows them necessary provisions. |

But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
Malachi 2:8-9 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. ... Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
|
- but they did:
1 Samuel 2:36 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left in thine house shall come [and] crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
Ezekiel 44:29-31 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs. ... The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
