56 They appointed the Levites who were 20 years old or more in charge of the Lord’s work.Rising up were Jeshua, his sons and associates; his brother Kadmiel and Jeshua’s sons; Emadabun and Joda’s sons; and Iliadun’s son with their sons and brothers. With them, all the Levites worked with a common purpose doing the work in God’s house.
57 So the builders built God’s temple. The priests stood dressed up in their robes, with musical instruments and trumpets, and the Levites, Asaph’s sons, with cymbals, singing to the Lord and praising him, according to the directions of King David of Israel.
58 They sang hymns, praising the Lord, "God’s goodness and glory are on Israel forever."
59 The people blew trumpets and shouted loudly, singing to the Lord on the occasion of the construction of the Lord’s house.
60 Some of the levitical priests and leaders of family houses, the elderly who had seen the former house, came to this building with much weeping and wailing.
61 Many others came with trumpets and joy, with a tremendous uproar.
62 But the people couldn’t hear the trumpets because of the people’s weeping, even though the crowd was blowing the trumpets so loudly that the noise was heard far away.
