and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Yahweh by his prophets. 029:026 The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets. 029:027 Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of Yahweh began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel. 029:028 All the assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this [continued] until the burnt offering was finished. 029:029 When they had made an end of offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped. 029:030 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to Yahweh with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped. 029:031 Then Hezekiah answered, Now you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh; come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of Yahweh. The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart [brought] burnt offerings. 029:032 The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to Yahweh. 029:033 The consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep. 029:034 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests. 029:035 Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of Yahweh was set in order. 029:036 Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people: for the thing was done suddenly. 030:001 Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Yahweh at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel. 030:002 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to keep the Passover in the second month. 030:003 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem. 030:004 The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly. 030:005 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout
