25He had the Levites stand in the Lord’s temple with cymbals, harps, and lyres as David, the king’s seercGad, and the prophet Nathan had ordered. This command came from the Lord through his prophets. 26The Levites stood with David’s instruments, and the priests had the trumpets. 27Then Hezekiah ordered the sacrificing of burnt offerings on the altar. When the burnt offerings started, the songs to the Lord started. These songs were accompanied by trumpets and the instruments of King David of Israel. 28The whole assembly bowed down with their faces touching the ground, singers began to sing, and the trumpets blew until the burnt offering was finished. 29When the burnt offerings were finished, the king and everyone who was with him kneeled and bowed down. 30Then King Hezekiah and the leaders told the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David and the seer Asaph. They joyfully sang praises, bowed down, and worshiped.
31Hezekiah said, “You have dedicated your lives to the Lord. Come, bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the Lord’s temple.”
The assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and everyone who was willing brought burnt offerings. 32The burnt offerings brought by the assembly totaled 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 lambs. All of these were burnt offerings to the Lord. 33The animals dedicated as holy sacrifices were 600 bulls and 3,000 sheep. 34But the priests needed more help to skin all the burnt offerings. So their relatives, the Levites, helped them until the work was completed and the priests could make themselves holy. The Levites were more diligent in making themselves holy than the priests were.
