Commentary

5 notes on this verse
All had hitherto been preparatory. Now Hezekiah gave orders that “the burnt offering” - i. e. the daily morning sacrifice - should be offered upon the brass altar in front of the porch, thus restoring and reinstituting the regular temple-service. A burst of music gave notice to the people of the moment when the old worship recommenced.

This site's exposition

When the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD

on 2 Chronicles 29:27-28

Barnes calls it a burst of music giving notice to the people as the old worship resumes after the years of shut doors under Ahaz. The singers Jehoshaphat sent ahead of an army at 20:21 appear here in the sanctuary, and the song runs “until the burnt offering was completed”.
