Context of 2 Chronicles 8:16

14Now according to the ordinance of his father David, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their duties of praise and ministering before the priests according to the daily rule, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at every gate; for this is what David, the man of God, had commanded. 15And they did not deviate from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites in any matter or regarding the storehouses. So all the work of Solomon was carried out from the day of the foundation of the house of the Lord, until it was finished. So the house of the Lord was completed. 17Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the seashore in the land of Edom. 18And by his servants Huram sent him ships and servants who knew the sea; and they went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and took from there 450 talents of gold, and brought it to King Solomon.
