23. The male goats for the sin offering were then brought before the king and the assembly of people, who laid their hands on them.
24. The priests then killed the goats as a sin offering and sprinkled their blood on the altar to make atonement for the sins of all Israel. The king had specifically commanded that this burnt offering and sin offering should be made for all Israel.
25. King Hezekiah then stationed the Levites at the Temple of the lord with cymbals, lyres, and harps. He obeyed all the commands that the lord had given to King David through Gad, the king’s seer, and the prophet Nathan.
26. The Levites then took their positions around the Temple with the instruments of David, and the priests took their positions with the trumpets.
27. Then Hezekiah ordered that the burnt offering be placed on the altar. As the burnt offering was presented, songs of praise to the lord were begun, accompanied by the trumpets and other instruments of David, the former king of Israel.
28. The entire assembly worshiped the lord as the singers sang and the trumpets blew, until all the burnt offerings were finished.
