upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the L
ORD
began
also
with the
trumpets, and with the instruments
ordained
by David king of Israel.
28
And all the congregation
worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded:
and
all
this continued
until the burnt
offering was finished.
29
And when they had made an end of 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 L
ORD
with the words of David, and of Asaph the
seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
31
Then
Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the L
ORD
, come near and
bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the L
ORD
. And the congregation brought in
sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.
32
And the
number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks,
an hundred rams,
and
two hundred lambs: all these
were
for a burnt offering to the L
ORD
.
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: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help
them, till 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 L
ORD
was set in order.
36
And Hezekiah rejoiced, and
all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was
done
suddenly.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 30
And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that
they should come to the house of the L
ORD
at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the L
ORD
God
of Israel.
2
For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem,
to keep the passover in the second month.
3
For they could not keep it at that time, because the
priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves
together to Jerusalem.
4
And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
5
So they established
a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should
come to keep the passover unto the L
ORD
God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done
it
of a
long
time in such sort
as it was written.
6
So the posts went with the letters from the king and his
princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying,
Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the L
ORD
God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return
to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
7
And be not ye like
your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the L
ORD
God of their fathers,
who
therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
8
Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers
were,
but
yield yourselves unto the L
ORD
, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever:
