27
Then Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began
also with the trumpets and with the instruments of David, king of Israel.
28
And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpets sounded;
and all
this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
29
And when they had finished offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and worshipped.
30
Moreover, Hezekiah, the king, and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph, the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed down and worshipped.
31
Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and praises in the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and praises, and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.
32
And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was seventy bullocks, one hundred rams,
and two hundred lambs; all these
were for the burnt offering of the LORD.
33
And the consecrated things
were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
34
But the priests were too few so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings; therefore, their brethren, the Levites, helped them until the work was ended and until the
other priests had sanctified themselves, for the Levites
were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
35
And also the burnt offerings
were in abundance, with the fat of the peace
offerings and the drink offerings for
every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.
36
And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people, for the thing was
done suddenly.
