UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַֽ⁠יִּשְׁמְר֞וּ

and,performed

In this context, the conjunction And indicates that the sentence it introduces explains the results of what the previous verse described. Specifically, the temple personnel were able to perform their duties regularly because the people had organized regular support for them. Alternate translation: [and so]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַֽ⁠יִּשְׁמְר֞וּ מִשְׁמֶ֤רֶת אֱלֹֽהֵי⁠הֶם֙ וּ⁠מִשְׁמֶ֣רֶת הַֽ⁠טָּהֳרָ֔ה

and,performed service_of God_of,their and,service_of the,purification

They means the priests and Levites. The abstract noun service, in the phrase service watch of their God, refers to the duties that God had commanded the priests and Levites to perform in the law. In the phrase “service of purification,” this abstract noun refers to one of those duties in particular, the duty of performing a ceremony for themselves and for others that expressed a desire to be ceremonially clean, that is, acceptable to God. The story describes in [12:30](../12/30.md) how they performed such a ceremony on this occasion. Alternate translation: [So the priests and Levites were able to perform the duties that God had commanded, including performing ceremonies of purification]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠הַ⁠מְשֹׁרְרִ֖ים וְ⁠הַ⁠שֹּׁעֲרִ֑ים

and,the,singers and,the,gatekeepers

Here the book leaves out some of the words that a sentence would ordinarily need in order to be complete. This phrase seems to means The singers and the gatekeepers were also able to perform their assigned duties. You could say that explicitly if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation:

Note 4 topic: writing-background

כְּ⁠מִצְוַ֥ת דָּוִ֖יד שְׁלֹמֹ֥ה בְנֽ⁠וֹ

according_to,command_of Dāvid Shəlomoh/(Solomon) son_of,his

This phrase provides background information that explains that it was King David and King Solomon, his son, who established the duties of the temple singers and gatekeepers. Alternate translation: [as King David and King Solomon, his son, had commanded them to do]
