11Now, my sons, do not be negligent, for the LORD has chosen you to stand before Him, to serve Him, to minister before Him, and to burn incense.”

1	Deuteronomy 10:8	At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to serve Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name, as they do to this day.
2	Galatians 6:7–8	Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return. The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
3	Numbers 8:6–14	“Take the Levites from among the Israelites and make them ceremonially clean. This is what you must do to cleanse them: Sprinkle them with the water of purification. Have them shave their whole bodies and wash their clothes, and so purify themselves. Then have them take a young bull with its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering. Bring the Levites before the Tent of Meeting and assemble the whole congregation of Israel. You are to present the Levites before the LORD and have the Israelites lay their hands upon them. Aaron is to present the Levites before the LORD as a wave offering from the sons of Israel, so that they may perform the service of the LORD. And the Levites are to lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and offer to the LORD one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, to make atonement for the Levites. You are to have the Levites stand before Aaron and his sons and then present them before the LORD as a wave offering. In this way you shall separate the Levites from the rest of the Israelites, and the Levites will belong to Me.
4	Numbers 16:35–40	And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense. Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the censers from the flames and to scatter the coals far away, because the censers are holy. As for the censers of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, hammer them into sheets to overlay the altar, for these were presented before the LORD, and so have become holy. They will serve as a sign to the Israelites.” So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned up, and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar, just as the LORD commanded him through Moses. This was to be a reminder to the Israelites that no outsider who is not a descendant of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the LORD, lest he become like Korah and his followers.
5	Numbers 18:2–7	But bring with you also your brothers from the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may join you and assist you and your sons before the Tent of the Testimony. And they shall attend to your duties and to all the duties of the Tent; but they must not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar, or both they and you will die. They are to join you and attend to the duties of the Tent of Meeting, doing all the work at the Tent; but no outsider may come near you. And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and of the altar, so that wrath may not fall on the Israelites again. Behold, I Myself have selected your fellow Levites from the Israelites as a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD to perform the service for the Tent of Meeting. But only you and your sons shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and what is inside the veil, and you are to perform that service. I am giving you the work of the priesthood as a gift, but any outsider who comes near the sanctuary must be put to death.”

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 29:11

My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense. No JFB commentary on this verse.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 29:11

My sons; so he calls them indifferently, though many of them were elder than himself, because he was by his tender love and affection, as he was by his office obliged to be, a nursing-father to them. See . Be not now negligent, in sanctifying yourselves and the temple, , and in quickening and preparing yourselves and the people to God’ s service.

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 29:11

2 Chronicles 29:11 My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.Ver. 11. Be not now negligent.] Or, Be not deceived: a good memento for ministers, who must be both intelligent and diligent. Hezekiah found, it seemeth, some slackness and backwardness in the priests and Levites to the work of reformation: he therefore - as after him Aemilius Paulus the consul, when nobody else dared, did himself run with the hatchet into the temple of Serapis, the demolishing whereof the senate had decreed - began first himself, and awaketh those sluggards with these words, Ne sitis socordes, Be not slack, my sons; God hath chosen you, &c. Up and be doing.

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 29:11

(11) My sons.—A condescending term from the king; just as my father was a term of respect (2 Kings 2:12; 2 Kings 5:13; 2 Kings 13:14). Be not now negligent.—The Niphal form of the verb shalah (“to be at ease”) occurs nowhere else. The margin is incorrect. The Lord hath chosen you.—You hath the Lord chosen. The pronoun is emphatic. (Comp. the similar words: 1 Chronicles 23:13; Deuteronomy 10:8.) To stand before him, (in order) to serve him, is the construction. And that ye should minister.—Literally, And to become to him ministers and thurifers.The thoughts and the style of the royal address make it evident enough that it is a free composition, in the well-known manner of ancient historians.

Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 29:11

11. to stand before him] Deuteronomy 10:8. to serve him, and that you should minister unto him] R.V. to minister unto him, and that ye should be his ministers.

Whedon's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 29:11

11. My sons — The king speaks kindly, as the father of all the people whom he rules. Be not negligent — Literally, do not go astray.
