Hezekiah reestablished the divisions of the priests and Levites for the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, for ministry, for giving thanks, and for praise in the gates of the camp of the Lord, each division corresponding to his service among the priests and Levites.

Hezekiah stationed the Levites in the Lord’s temple with cymbals, harps, and lyres according to the command of David, Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet. For the command was from the Lord through His prophets.The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.Then Hezekiah ordered that the burnt offering be offered on the altar. When the burnt offerings began, the song of the Lord and the trumpets began, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.The whole assembly was worshiping, singing the song, and blowing the trumpets— all of this continued until the burnt offering was completed.When the burnt offerings were completed, the king and all those present with him bowed down and worshiped.Then King Hezekiah and the officials told the Levites to sing praise to the Lord in the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with rejoicing and bowed down and worshiped.

So David left Asaph and his relatives there before the ark of the Lord’s covenant to minister regularly before the ark according to the daily requirements.He assigned Obed-edom and his 68 relatives. Obed-edom son of Jeduthun and Hosah were to be gatekeepers.David left Zadok the priest and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the Lord at the high place in Gibeonto offer burnt offerings regularly, morning and evening, to the Lord on the altar of burnt offerings and to do everything that was written in the law of the Lord, which He had commanded Israel to keep.With them were Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the Lord— for His faithful love endures forever.Heman and Jeduthun had with them trumpets and cymbals to play and musical instruments of God. Jeduthun’s sons were at the gate.

When the builders had laid the foundation of the Lord’s temple, the priests, dressed in their robes and holding trumpets, and the Levites descended from Asaph, holding cymbals, took their positions to praise the Lord, as King David of Israel had instructed.They sang with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord:“ For He is good; His faithful love to Israel endures forever.” Then all the people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord because the foundation of the Lord’s house had been laid.

They numbered 288 together with their relatives who were all trained and skillful in music for the Lord.They cast lots for their duties, young and old alike, teacher as well as pupil.The first lot for Asaph fell to Joseph, his sons, and his brothers— 12 to Gedaliah the second: him, his brothers, and his sons— 12the third to Zaccur, his sons, and his brothers— 12the fourth to Izri, his sons, and his brothers— 12the fifth to Nethaniah, his sons, and his brothers— 12the sixth to Bukkiah, his sons, and his brothers— 12the seventh to Jesarelah, his sons, and his brothers— 12the eighth to Jeshaiah, his sons, and his brothers— 12the ninth to Mattaniah, his sons, and his brothers— 12the tenth to Shimei, his sons, and his brothers— 12the eleventh to Azarel, his sons, and his brothers— 12the twelfth to Hashabiah, his sons, and his brothers— 12the thirteenth to Shubael, his sons, and his brothers— 12the fourteenth to Mattithiah, his sons, and his brothers— 12the fifteenth to Jeremoth, his sons, and his brothers— 12the sixteenth to Hananiah, his sons, and his brothers— 12the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, his sons, and his brothers— 12the eighteenth to Hanani, his sons, and his brothers— 12the nineteenth to Mallothi, his sons, and his brothers— 12the twentieth to Eliathah, his sons, and his brothers— 12the twenty-first to Hothir, his sons, and his brothers— 12the twenty-second to Giddalti, his sons, and his brothers— 12the twenty-third to Mahazioth, his sons, and his brothers— 12and the twenty-fourth to Romamti-ezer, his sons, and his brothers— 12.

People have seen Your procession, God, the procession of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.Singers lead the way, with musicians following; among them are young women playing tambourines.

The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were at their stations according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer. Also, the gatekeepers were at each gate. None of them left their tasks because their Levite brothers had made preparations for them.

They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed.For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were leaders of the singers and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.So in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside daily portions for the Levites, and the Levites set aside daily portions for the descendants of Aaron.

David appointed some of the Levites to be ministers before the ark of the Lord, to celebrate the Lord God of Israel, and to give thanks and praise to Him.Asaph was the chief and Zechariah was second to him. Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel played the harps and lyres, while Asaph sounded the cymbalsand the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.

Johanan fathered Azariah, who served as priest in the temple that Solomon built in Jerusalem;

The priests brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the most holy place beneath the wings of the cherubim.For the cherubim were spreading their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim covered the ark and its poles from above.The poles were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen from outside the sanctuary; they are there to this day.Nothing was in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had put there at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites when they came out of the land of Egypt.When the priests came out of the holy place, the cloud filled the Lord’s temple,and because of the cloud, the priests were not able to continue ministering, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple.Then Solomon said: The Lord said that He would dwell in thick darkness.I have indeed built an exalted temple for You, a place for Your dwelling forever.

They also appointed the priests by their divisions and the Levites by their groups to the service of God in Jerusalem, according to what is written in the book of Moses.

Mattaniah son of Mica, son of Zabdi, son of Asaph, the leader who began the thanksgiving in prayer; Bakbukiah, second among his relatives; and Abda son of Shammua, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun.All the Levites in the holy city: 284.The gatekeepers: Akkub, Talmon, and their relatives, who guarded the gates: 172.The rest of Israel, the priests, and the Levites were in all the villages of Judah, each on his own inherited property.The temple servants lived on Ophel; Ziha and Gishpa supervised the temple servants.The leader of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani, son of Hashabiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Mica, of the descendants of Asaph, who were singers for the service of God’s house.There was, in fact, a command of the king regarding them, and an ordinance regulating the singers’ daily tasks.

Hallelujah! Praise the name of Yahweh. Give praise, you servants of Yahwehwho stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of the house of our God.Praise Yahweh, for Yahweh is good; sing praise to His name, for it is delightful.

At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sent for the Levites wherever they lived and brought them to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.The singers gathered from the region around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,

Now praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who stand in the Lord’s house at night!Lift up your hands in the holy place and praise the Lord!
