And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began, and the trumpets with the instruments of David king of Israel. ²⁸ And all the congregation bowed themselves, and the singers sang, and the trumpets blew, and continued until the burnt offering was finished. ²⁹ And when they had made an end of the burnt offering, the king and all that were with him kneeled down and bowed themselves and gave praise and thanks. ³⁰ And Hezekiah the king and the lords bade the Levites to praise the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer of visions.
