²⁵ Hezekiah^[a] stationed descendants of Levi in the Lord’s Temple to play cymbals and stringed instruments, just as David, Gad the seer,^[b] and Nathan the prophet^[c] had directed, because the command to do so was from the Lord through those prophets. ²⁶ The descendants of Levi played instruments that had been crafted by David and the priests sounded trumpets.

²⁷ Hezekiah gave a command to offer burnt offerings on the altar, and when the burnt offerings began, a song to the Lord also began with trumpets sounding and with the instruments that King David of Israel had crafted.
