2 Chronicles 29:25–34

^25aHe then caused the Levites to stand in the house of Yahweh with cymbals, with harps, and with lyres, ^baccording to the command of David and of ^cGad the king’s seer, and of ^dNathan the prophet; for the command was from Yahweh by the hand of His prophets.

²⁶And the Levites stood with ^athe musical instruments of David, and ^bthe priests with the trumpets.

²⁷Then Hezekiah said to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, ^athe song to Yahweh also began with the trumpets, ¹accompanied by the instruments of David, king of Israel.

²⁸While the whole assembly worshiped, the singers also sang and the trumpets sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was completed.

²⁹Now at the completion of the burnt offerings, ^athe king and all who were present with him bowed down and worshiped.

³⁰Moreover, King Hezekiah and the officials ordered the Levites to sing praises to Yahweh with the words of David and Asaph the seer. ^aSo they sang praises with gladness, and bowed down and worshiped.

³¹Then Hezekiah answered and said, “^aNow that you have ¹become ordained to Yahweh, approach and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of Yahweh.” And the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and ^ball those who were willing of heart brought burnt offerings.

³²And the number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to Yahweh.

³³And the holy things were 600 bulls and 3,000 sheep.

³⁴But the priests were too few, so that they were unable to skin all the burnt offerings; ^atherefore their brothers the Levites helped them until the work was completed and until the other priests had set themselves apart as holy. For ^bthe Levites were more upright of heart to set themselves apart as holy than the priests.
