Context — Hezekiah Restores Temple Worship
26The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
27And Hezekiah ordered that the burnt offering be sacrificed on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD and the trumpets began as well, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.
28The whole assembly was worshiping, the singers were singing, and the trumpeters were playing. All this continued until the burnt offering was completed.
29When the offerings were completed, the king and all those present with him bowed down and worshiped. 30Then King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to sing praises to the LORD in the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness and bowed down and worshiped.Cross References

| 1 | Revelation 5:8–14 | When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign upon the earth.” Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels and living creatures and elders encircling the throne, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands. In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!” And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!” And the four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped. |

Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 29:28
And all the congregation worshipped,.... Bowed their heads as a token of divine adoration: and the singers sang; both with vocal and instrumental music, who were the Levites: and the trumpeters
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 29:28
And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 29:28
2 Chronicles 29:28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: [and] all [this continued] until the burnt offering was finished.Ver. 28. And the singers sang.] Heb., And the song sang, i.e., the whole choir; or, as some will, the chief chanter.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 29:28
(28) Worshipped.—Were worshipping. LXX. προσεκύνει.The singers.—Heb., the song. So we might say “the music was playing;” or even “the song was singing,” i.e., being sung. The trumpeters sounded.—And the clarions were blowing (literally, clarioning). The participle is masculine, although the noun is properly feminine, because here the word “clarions” really stands for the clarion-players. So in modern orchestras they speak of “the violins,” or “the ‘cellos,” meaning the players on those instruments. And all this.—Literally, the whole, until the burnt offering was finished.This passage is highly interesting for the light it throws upon the mode in which the worship of the second Temple was conducted in the fourth century B.C., the probable age of the chronicler; and no doubt also in the times here treated of, for the Temple ritual would naturally be a matter of immemorial tradition. (Comp. 2 Chronicles 7:5-6.)
