Placing the priests in a position is a metaphor for telling the priests which jobs they are to do. The reader should probably understand that Josiah commanded his officials to give instructions to the priests. Alternate translation: [He had people tell the priests which jobs to do] (See also: figs-metonymy)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word service, you can express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: [as they served in] or [to serve well in]
