Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 30:27
Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:27
The priests the Levites; those of the Levites who were priests also; for to them only this work belonged, . Or, the priests and the Levites; for as the Levites did some other part of the priests’ work at this time, it is not strange if they did this also. Or the priests might bless by solemn pronunciation of the blessing, and the Levites by their acclamations, or with their musical instruments. Blessed the people; either commended them for their great zeal and diligence in God’ s service; or rather, solemnly prayed to God to bless them; and their prayer was not in vain, as the following words show.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:27
2 Chronicles 30:27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came [up] to his holy dwelling place, [even] unto heaven.Ver. 27. Arose and blessed the people.] Which was a part of their office. See the form.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:27
(27) Then the priests the Levites.—And the Levitical priests; not any irregular ministrants. Some Hebrew MSS., the LXX., Syriac, and the Vulg. read, “And the priests and the Levites”: but comp. 2 Chronicles 23:18. And their voice was heard.—The priestly blessing was a prayer that Jehovah would bless. (See Numbers 6:22-27.) That the prayer was heard on the present occasion, the writer infers from the progress of reform among the people, and the wonderful deliverance from Assyria, as related in the ensuing chapters. Their prayer came up.—Entered into His holy dwelling (comp. Isaiah 18:6) into the heavens. Notice the characteristic omission of the sacred Name.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:27
Verse 27. And their voice was heard] God accepted the fruits of that pious disposition which himself had infused. And their prayer came up] As the smoke of their sacrifices ascended to the clouds, so did their prayers, supplications, and thanksgivings, ascend to the heavens. The Targum says: "Their prayer came up to the dwelling-place of his holy shechinah, which is in heaven." Israel now appeared to be in a fair way of regaining what they had lost; but alas, how soon were all these bright prospects beclouded for ever! It is not for the want of holy resolutions and heavenly influences that men are not saved but through their own unsteadiness; they do not persevere, they forget the necessity of continuing in prayer, and thus the Holy Spirit is grieved, departs from them, and leaves them to their own darkness and hardness of heart. When we consider the heavenly influences which many receive who draw back to perdition, and the good fruits which for a time they bore, it is blasphemy to say they had no genuine or saving grace; they had it, they showed it, they trifled with it, sinned against it, continued in their rebellions, and therefore are lost.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 30:27
27. the priests the Levites] So in 2 Chronicles 23:18, but only in these two places in Chron. The phrase is Deuteronomic, and has been taken to imply that all Levites were potentially priests. Such was not in any case the view of the Chronicler, and perhaps we ought to read “the priests and the Levites” both here and in 2 Chronicles 23:18. his holy dwelling place] R.V. his holy habitation; so Deuteronomy 26:15.
