Context of 2 Chronicles 8:16

14According to the ordinances of his father David, he appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, of the Levites over their responsibilities to offer praise and to minister before the priests following the daily requirement, and of the gatekeepers by their divisions with respect to each temple gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God. 15They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests and the Levites concerning any matter or concerning the treasuries. All of Solomon’s work was carried out from the day the foundation was laid for the Lord’s temple until it was finished. So the Lord’s temple was completed. 17At that time Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the seashore in the land of Edom. 18So Hiram sent ships to him by his servants along with crews of experienced seamen. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir, took from there seventeen tons of gold, and delivered it to King Solomon.
