2 Chronicles 5:11-13
New English Translation

11 The priests left the Holy Place.[a] All the priests who participated had consecrated themselves, no matter which division they represented.[b] 12 All the Levites who were musicians, including Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives, wore linen. They played cymbals and stringed instruments as they stood east of the altar. They were accompanied by 120 priests who blew trumpets. 13 The trumpeters and musicians played together, praising and giving thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they loudly praised the Lord, singing:[c] “Certainly he is good; certainly his loyal love endures!” Then a cloud filled the Lord’s temple.[d]

  2. 2 Chronicles 5:11 tn Heb “Indeed [or “for”] all the priests who were found consecrated themselves without guarding divisions.”
  3. 2 Chronicles 5:13 tn Heb “like one were the trumpeters and the musicians, causing one voice to be heard, praising and giving thanks to the Lord, and while raising a voice with trumpets and with cymbals and with instruments of music, and while praising the Lord.”
  4. 2 Chronicles 5:13 tn Heb “and the house was filled with a cloud, the house of the Lord.”
