Exegesis
The Hebrew narrative opens with the vav-consecutive prefix on wayya'asu {וַיַּעֲשׂוּ | wayya‘ăśû} ‘and they did’ and on wayyiqḥû {וַיִּקְחוּ | wayyiqḥû} ‘and they took,’ coordinating the actions of ha-leviyim {הַלְוִיִּם | haləwiyyîm} ‘the Levites’ alongside ve-kol yehûdāh {וְכָל־יְהוּדָה | wə-kol yĕhûdāh} ‘all Judah.’

In context — 2 Chronicles 23:8
The Levites and all Judah carried out everything Jehoiada the priest ordered. Each man took his men—those scheduled to come on the Sabbath together with those scheduled to go out on the Sabbath—because Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed the divisions .
