2 Chronicles 30:21-27

[21] And the children  of Israel  that were present  at Jerusalem  kept  the feast  of unleavened bread  seven  days  with great  gladness:  and the Levites  and the priests  praised  the LORD  day  singing with loud  instruments  unto the LORD.  [22] spake  comfortably  unto all the Levites  that taught  the good  knowledge  of the LORD:  and they did eat  throughout the feast  seven  days,  offering  peace  offerings,  and making confession  to the LORD  God  of their fathers.  [23] And the whole assembly  took counsel  to keep  other  seven  days:  and they kept  other seven  days  with gladness.  [24] For Hezekiah  king  of Judah  did give  to the congregation  a thousand  bullocks  and seven  thousand  sheep;  and the princes  gave  to the congregation  a thousand  bullocks  and ten  thousand  sheep:  and a great number  of priests  sanctified  themselves. [25] And all the congregation  of Judah,  with the priests  and the Levites,  and all the congregation  that came out  of Israel,  and the strangers  that came out  of the land  of Israel,  and that dwelt  in Judah,  rejoiced.  [26] So there was great  joy  in Jerusalem:  for since the time  of Solomon  the son  of David  king  of Israel  there was not the like in Jerusalem.  [27] Then the priests  the Levites  arose  and blessed  the people:  and their voice  was heard,  and their prayer  came  up to his holy  dwelling place,  even unto heaven.
