Then the Levites H3881 arose H6965:
Mahath H4287, the son H1121 of Amasai H6022 and Joel H3100 the son H1121 of Azariah H5838, from the sons H1121 of the Kohathites H6956;
and from the sons H1121 of Merari H4847, Kish H7027 the son H1121 of Abdi H5660 and Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Jehallelel H3094;
and from the Gershonites H1649, Joah H3098 the son H1121 of Zimmah H2155 and Eden H5731 the son H1121 of Joah H3098;
He then caused the Levites H3881 to stand H5975 in the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 with cymbals H4700, with harps H5035, and with lyres H3658, according to the command H4687 of David H1732 and of Gad H1410 the king’s H4428 seer H2374, and of Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030; for the command H4687 was from Yahweh H3068 by the hand H3027 of His prophets H5030.
Then Hezekiah H2396 answered H6030 and said H559, “Now H6258 that you have [fn]become ordained H4390 H3027 to Yahweh H3068, approach H5066 and bring H935 sacrifices H2077 and thank H8426 offerings H8426 to the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068.” And the assembly H6951 brought H935 sacrifices H2077 and thank H8426 offerings H8426, and all H3605 those who were willing H5081 of heart H3820 brought burnt H5930 offerings H5930.
