25 He had the Levites stand in the Lord’s temple with cymbals, harps, and lyres as David, the king’s seer Gad, and the prophet Nathan had ordered. This command came from the Lord through his prophets.
26 The Levites stood with David’s instruments, and the priests had the trumpets.
27 Then Hezekiah ordered the sacrificing of burnt offerings on the altar. When the burnt offerings started, the songs to the Lord started. These songs were accompanied by trumpets and the instruments of King David of Israel.
28 The whole assembly bowed down with their faces touching the ground, singers began to sing, and the trumpets blew until the burnt offering was finished.
29 When the burnt offerings were finished, the king and everyone who was with him kneeled and bowed down.
30 Then King Hezekiah and the leaders told the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David and the seer Asaph. They joyfully sang praises, bowed down, and worshiped.
31 Hezekiah said, “You have dedicated your lives to the Lord. Come, bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the Lord’s temple.”The assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and everyone who was willing brought burnt offerings.
