Exegesis
Finally, the purpose clause la-ʿă-vō-ḏat {לַעֲבוֹדַת | la-ʿă-vō-ḏat} ‘for the service’ governs the construct chain bēt {בֵּ֥ית | bēt} ‘house’ of YHWH {יְהוָֽה | Yə-hō-wāh}, emphasizing the priestly worship context. This progression from assignment to support underscores the deliberate establishment of temple service.
In context — 2 Chronicles 35:2
And he stationed the priests upon their duties and strengthened them for the service of the house of the LORD .
