21. They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the Lord’s altar.
22. So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar. They killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They also killed the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
23. They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands on them.
24. Then the priests killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
25. He set the Levites in the Lord’s house with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was from the Lord by his prophets.
26. The Levites stood with David’s instruments, and the priests with the shofars.
27. Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the Lord’s song also began, along with the shofars and David king of Israel’s instruments.
28. All the assembly worshipped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded. All this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
29. When they had finished offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshipped.
30. Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to the Lord with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
31. Then Hezekiah answered, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to the Lord. Come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the Lord’s house.” The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.
