Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded,.... Of whom see 2 Kings 11:4

and they took every man his men; everyone his hundred:

that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath; both the courses, of which see 2 Kings 11:5

and came to Jehoiada the priest; with the said courses, at least as many of them as were to be employed in the present service.
