^12 (A)and the Levites who were the singers, all those of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, stood at the east end of the altar, clothed in white linen, having cymbals, stringed instruments and harps, ^(B)and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets—

^6 (A)And the priests attended to their services; the Levites also with instruments of the music of the Lord, which King David had made to praise the Lord, saying, “For His mercy endures forever,” whenever David offered praise by their ^[a]ministry. ^(B)The priests sounded trumpets opposite them, while all Israel stood.

¹⁴ And, according to the ^[a]order of David his father, he appointed the ^(A)divisions of the priests for their service, ^(B)the Levites for their duties (to praise and serve before the priests) as the duty of each day required, and the ^(C)gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate; for so David the man of God had commanded.

¹⁵ They did not depart from the command of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter or concerning the ^(A)treasuries.

¹⁰ But as for us, the Lord is our ^(A)God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties.

^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. ³² And 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 the Lord. ³³ The consecrated things were six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep. ³⁴ But the priests were too few, so that they could not skin all the burnt offerings; therefore ^(K)their brethren the Levites helped them until the work was ended and until the other priests had ^[a]sanctified themselves, ^(L)for the Levites were ^(M)more diligent in ^(N)sanctifying themselves than the priests.
