The Temple Restored, 2 Chronicles Chapter 29

Then the Levites went to King Hezekiah and gave him this report: “We have cleansed the Temple of the Lord, the altar of burnt offerings with all its utensils, and the table of the Bread of the Presence with all its utensils. We have also recovered the items discarded by King Ahaz when he was unfaithful and closed thge Temple. They are now in front of the altar of the Lord, purified and ready for use.”(vv. 18-19, NLT)

King Hezekiah then stationed the Levites at the Temple of the Lord with cymbals, lyres, and harps. He obeyed all the commandments that the Lord had given to King David through Gad, the king’s seer, and the prophet Nathan. The Levites then took their positions around the Temple with the trumpets.

Then Hezekiah ordered that the burnt offering be placed on the altar. As the burnt offering was presented, songs of praise to the Lord were begun, accompanied by the trumpets and other instruments of David, the former king of Israel. (v. 27, NLT)

So the Temple of the Lord was restored to service. And Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced because of what God had done for the people, for everything had been accomplished so quickly. (vv. 35b-36, NLT)
