2 Chronicles 29:25-36 ▼

25 And he stationed the Levites in the house of YHWH with cymbals, with harps, and with lyres, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad seer of the king, and of Nathan the prophet. For by the hand of YHWH was the command by the hand of His prophets.

26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

27 And Hezekiah said to offer the burnt offering on the altar. And at the time the burnt offering began, the song of YHWH began, and the trumpets, by the hands of the instruments of David king of Israel.

28 And all the assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpets sounded, all until the burnt offering was completed.

29 And when the burnt offering was completed, the king bowed down, and all those found with him, and they worshiped.

30 And Hezekiah the king said—and the leaders—to the Levites to sing praise to YHWH with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed down and worshiped.

31 And Hezekiah answered and said, “Now that you? have filled your? hand to YHWH, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of YHWH.” And the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and all of willing heart brought burnt offerings.

32 And the number of the burnt offerings that the assembly brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs—all these for a burnt offering to YHWH.

33 And the consecrated things were six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep.

34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not skin all the burnt offerings. And their brothers the Levites strengthened them until the work was finished, and until the priests had sanctified themselves. For the Levites were more diligent of heart to consecrate themselves than the priests.

35 And the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings and with the drink offerings for the burnt offering. And the service of the house of YHWH was established.

36 And Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced that God had prepared the people, for the matter had come to pass suddenly.
