Contextual Overview
1Josiah observed the Lord’s Passover and slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2He appointed the priests to their responsibilities and encouraged them to serve in the Lord’s temple. 3He said to the Levites who taught all Israel the holy things of the Lord, “Put the holy ark in the temple built by Solomon son of David king of Israel. Since you do not have to carry it on your shoulders, now serve the Lord your God and his people Israel. 4“Organize your ancestral families by your divisions according to the written instruction of King David of Israel and that of his son Solomon. 5Serve in the holy place by the groupings of the ancestral families for your brothers, the lay people, and according to the division of the Levites by family. 6Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, and make preparations for your brothers to carry out the word of the Lord through Moses.” 7Then Josiah donated thirty thousand sheep, lambs, and young goats, plus three thousand cattle from his own possessions, for the Passover sacrifices for all the lay people who were present. 8His officials also donated willingly for the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, chief officials of God’s temple, gave twenty-six hundred Passover sacrifices and three hundred cattle for the priests. 9Conaniah and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, officers of the Levites, donated five thousand Passover sacrifices for the Levites, plus five hundred cattle. 10So the service was established; the priests stood at their posts and the Levites in their divisions according to the king’s command.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And stand in the holy place,.... The court of the priests, where their ministrations were:
according to the divisions of the families of your brethren the people; of the other tribes, who were according to their families to provide a lamb for the passover:
and after the division of the families of the Levites; who were obliged to observe the same ordinance in their respective families, and for whom, as well as for the other families of Israel, they were to slay the lamb.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The sense of this verse probably is: âSo divide yourselves that, for every distinct family among the people who come to the Passover, there shall be a portion of a Levitical family to minister.â
