2 Chronicles 29:27 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 29:27

And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the
altar
Which was wholly devoted to the Lord, and was an acknowledgment of his sovereignty over them, and of his goodness to them: and when the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord began also with
trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel;
and this was done at the time of the pouring out of the drink offering, which always attended the burnt offering; for this is a rule with the Jews, that they do not say the song but over the drink offering ^F15.

25 The king ordered the Levites to take their places in The Temple of God with their musical instruments - cymbals, harps, zithers - following the original instructions of David, Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; this was God's command conveyed by his prophets.

26 The Levites formed the orchestra of David, while the priests took up the trumpets.

27 Then Hezekiah gave the signal to begin: The Whole-Burnt-Offering was offered on the Altar; at the same time the sacred choir began singing, backed up by the trumpets and the David orchestra
