Contextual Overview

²⁰ Then Hezekiah the king got up early, and got together the great men of the town, and went up to the house of the Lord. ²¹ And they took with them seven oxen and seven male sheep and seven lambs and seven he-goats as a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the holy house and for Judah. And he gave orders to the sons of Aaron, the priests, that these were to be offered on the altar of the Lord. ²² So they put the oxen to death and their blood was given to the priests to be drained out against the altar; then they put the male sheep to death, draining out their blood against the altar, and they put the lambs to death, draining out their blood against the altar. ²³ Then they took the he-goats for the sin-offering, placing them before the king and the meeting of the people, and they put their hands on them: ²⁴ And the priests put them to death, and made a sin-offering with their blood on the altar, to take away the sin of all Israel: for the king gave orders that the burned offering and the sin-offering were for all Israel. ²⁵ Then he put the Levites in their places in the house of the Lord, with brass and corded instruments of music as ordered by David and Gad, the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for the order was the Lord's, given by his prophets. ²⁶ So the Levites took their places with David's instruments, and the priests with their horns. ²⁷ And Hezekiah gave the word for the burned offering to be offered on the altar. And when the burned offering was started, then the song of the Lord was started, with the blowing of horns and with all the instruments of David, king of Israel. ²⁸ And all the people gave worship, to the sound of songs and the blowing of horns; and this went on till the burned offering was ended. ²⁹ And at the end of the offering, the king and all who were present with him gave worship with bent heads.
