^25 (A)And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, ^(B)according to the commandment of David, of ^(C)Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet; ^(D)for thus was the commandment of the Lord by His prophets. ²⁶ The Levites stood with the instruments ^(E)of David, and the priests with ^(F)the trumpets. ²⁷ Then Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. And when the burnt offering began, ^(G)the song of the Lord also began, with the trumpets and with the instruments of David king of Israel. ²⁸ So all the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished. ²⁹ And when they had finished offering, ^(H)the king and all who were present with him bowed and worshiped. ³⁰ Moreover 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.

³¹ Then Hezekiah answered and said, “Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, come near, and bring sacrifices and ^(I)thank offerings into the house of the Lord.” So the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a ^(J)willing heart brought burnt offerings.

³⁶ Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced that God had prepared the people, since the events took place so suddenly.
