This verse in 2 Chronicles 29

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

the song of the Lord began also

on 2 Chronicles 29:27-28

The music and the offering start together, and Barnes calls it a burst of music giving notice to the people the moment the old worship resumes after the years of silence Ahaz's shut doors had imposed. The same coordination of singers and offering that Jehoshaphat later sends ahead of an army at 20:21 appears here at its proper occasion, the sanctuary itself, worship set to the length of the sacrifice rather than to a fixed form. Nothing is rushed and nothing is stretched; the song runs exactly until the burnt offering is finished, then stops.
