2 Chronicles 29:25–34

^25aHe then stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord 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 the Lord through His prophets.

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

²⁷Then Hezekiah gave the order to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, ^athe song to the Lord 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 finished.

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 the Lord with the words of David and Asaph the seer. ^aSo they sang praises with joy, and bowed down and worshiped.

³¹Then Hezekiah said, “^aNow that you have ¹consecrated yourselves to the Lord, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the Lord.” And the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and ^ball those who were ²willing brought burnt offerings.

³²The 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 the Lord.

³³The consecrated 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 consecrated themselves. For ^bthe Levites were more ¹conscientious to consecrate themselves than the priests.
