Contextual Overview

20 Then King Hezekiah got up early and gathered the city rulers and went up to the house of the Lord. 21 They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin gift for the nation, the holy place, and Judah. Hezekiah told the religious leaders, the sons of Aaron, to give them on the altar of the Lord. 22 So they killed the bulls, and the religious leaders took the blood and put it on the altar. They killed the rams and put the blood on the altar. And they killed the lambs and put the blood on the altar. 23 Then they brought the male goats of the sin gift in front of the king and the people. They laid their hands on them. 24 And the religious leaders killed them and gave a sin gift with their blood, to pay for the sins of all Israel. For the king said that the burnt gift and the sin gift should be made for all Israel. 25 Then Hezekiah put the Levites in their places in the house of the Lord with timbrels and different kinds of harps. He did as David, Gad and Nathan, the men who spoke for God, had all said. For through these men the Lord said that this was to be done. 26 The Levites stood with the objects for making music which David had made. And the religious leaders stood with the horns. 27 Then Hezekiah told them to give the burnt gift on the altar. When the burnt gift began, the song to the Lord also began, with the horns and the objects for music made by David, king of Israel. 28 While all the people worshiped, the singers sang and the horns sounded. The music went on until the burnt gift was finished. 29 When the burnt gift was finished, the king and all who were with him bowed down and worshiped.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Levites stood with the instruments of David,.... Which were invented, directed, and ordered to be used by him, and are the same as in the preceding verse:

and the priests with the trumpets; which were made by the direction of Moses, according to the order of God, Numbers 10:2.
