17:7-9 Jehoshaphat carried out the Lord’s requirement to know the law (Deut 5:1; 17:18-20), commissioning five royal officers, nine Levites, and two priests to instruct the people in the book of the covenant. Levites frequently functioned as teachers during the Second Temple period as well (Neh 8:7). • Some versions omit Tob-adonijah; it appears to be a scribal error of repetition.
