2 Chronicles 29:25–34

^25mAnd he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, harps, and lyres, ⁿaccording to the commandment of David and of Gad ^othe king’s seer and of ^pNathan the prophet, for the commandment was from the Lord through his prophets. ²⁶The Levites stood with ^qthe instruments of David, ^rand the priests with the trumpets. ²⁷Then Hezekiah commanded that the burnt offering be offered on the altar. And when the burnt offering began, ^sthe song to the Lord began also, and the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel. ²⁸The whole assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded. All this continued until the burnt offering was finished. ²⁹When the offering was finished, ^tthe king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped. ³⁰And Hezekiah the king and the officials commanded the Levites to sing praises to the Lord with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed down and worshiped.

³¹Then Hezekiah said, ^u“You have now consecrated yourselves to³ the Lord. Come near; bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the Lord.” And the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all who were ^vof a willing heart brought burnt offerings. ³²The number of the burnt offerings that the assembly brought was 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the Lord. ³³And the consecrated offerings were 600 bulls and 3,000 sheep. ³⁴But the priests were too few and could not flay all the burnt offerings, so until other priests had consecrated themselves, ^wtheir brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was finished—^xfor the Levites were more upright in heart than the priests in consecrating themselves.
