2 Chronicles 29:25–34

^25wAnd he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, ^xaccording to the commandment of David, of ^yGad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet; ^zfor thus was the commandment of the Lord by his prophets. ²⁶The Levites stood with the instruments ^aof David, and the priests with ^bthe trumpets. ²⁷Then Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. And when the burnt offering began, ^cthe song of the Lord also began, with the trumpets and with the instruments of David king of Israel. ²⁸So all the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished. ²⁹And when they had finished offering, ^dthe king and all who were present with him bowed and worshiped. ³⁰Moreover King Hezekiah and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praise to the Lord with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.

³¹Then Hezekiah answered and said, “Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, come near, and bring sacrifices and ^ethank offerings into the house of the Lord.” So the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a ^fwilling heart brought burnt offerings. ³²And the number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the Lord. ³³The consecrated things were six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep. ³⁴But the priests were too few, so that they could not skin all the burnt offerings; therefore ^gtheir brethren the Levites helped them until the work was ended and until the other priests had ⁷sanctified themselves, ^hfor the Levites were ⁱmore diligent in ^jsanctifying themselves than the priests.
