Music God’s Way 2 Chronicles 29:

Tabernacle Musical Worship  Two Trumpets  Numbers 10:1 – 2 “And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:  2 "Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for calling the congregation and for directing the movement of the camps.”

Tabernacle Musical Worship  Two Trumpets  Numbers 10:8,10 " The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; …  Also in the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be a memorial for you before your God: I am the LORD your God."

Temple Worship in the days of David  David began to use Levites as professional singers and musicians (1 Chronicles 16:1- 6; 23:1-5)  “For David said, "The LORD God of Israel has given rest to His people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem forever"; 26 and also to the Levites, "They shall no longer carry the tabernacle, or any of the articles for its service.“ (1 Chron. 23:25 – 26)

Why the Change?  Was it merely David’s personal preference or desire?  Was it the desire to make the worship more festive or appealing?  Was it that instrumental music had become more culturally appealing?

Reason for Changes in Worship  “He then stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with harps, and with lyres, according to the command of David and of Gad the king's seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for the command was from the LORD through His prophets. (2 Chron. 29:25)

Reason for Changes in Worship  “And the Levites stood with the musical instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets. 27 Then Hezekiah gave the order to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song to the LORD also began with the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David, king of Israel.” (2 Chron. 29: )

Hezekiah Seeks to Restore Worship  Questions had to be answered:  First, should musical instruments be used at all?  Secondly, if they should be, what specific instruments should be used?

Reason for Changes in Worship  “So all the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished. 29 And when they had finished offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed and worshiped.” (2 Chron. 29:28 – 29)

Where did this command originate?  “according to the command of David and of Gad the king's seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for the command was from the LORD through His prophets.” (2 Chron. 29:25)

Where did this command originate?  Just as God had regulated the instruments used in the Tabernacle, through his prophet Moses, He also regulated the instruments of the Temple through his prophets, Gad, Nathan and David.

This “command of David”  (1 Chron. 16:4 – 7) “And he appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the LORD, even to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel: 5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah,…with musical instruments, harps, lyres; also Asaph played loud-sounding cymbals,6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests blew trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God. 7 Then on that day David first assigned Asaph and his relatives to give thanks to the LORD.”

This “command of David”  (2 Chron. 23:1 – 5) “Now when David reached old age, he made his son Solomon king over Israel. 2 And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel with the priests and the Levites…(v.5) and 4,000 were gatekeepers, and 4,000 were praising the LORD with the instruments which David made for giving praise.”

A “Lord” directed plan  (1 Chron. 28:11 – 13, 19) “Then David gave to his son Solomon the plan of the porch of the temple, its buildings,…13 also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD and for all the utensils of service in the house of the LORD;… (19)"All this," said David, "the LORD made me understand in writing by His hand upon me, all the details of this pattern."

Principles Reviewed  God has always regulated His worship.  God has regulated specific instruments  The “command of David” concerning worship included the introduction of Levitical singers along with the trumpets of Moses and the “instruments of David.”  There is no indication of any additional instruments used in the Temple throughout the time of the Old Covenant.

Restoration Efforts:  Solomon institutes Temple worship  (2 Chron. 8:14) “And, according to the order of David his father, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, the Levites for their duties (to praise and serve before the priests) as the duty of each day required, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate; for so David the man of God had commanded.”

Restoration Efforts:  Jehoida  (2 Chron. 23:18) “Then Jehoiada placed the oversight of the temple of the LORD in the hands of the priests, who were Levites, to whom David had made assignments in the temple, to present the burnt offerings of the LORD as written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and singing, as David had ordered.”  Hezekiah (2 Chron. 29:25)

Restoration Efforts:  Josiah  (2 Chr. 35:4,15) "Prepare yourselves according to your fathers' houses, according to your divisions, following the written instruction of David king of Israel and the written instruction of Solomon his son…. And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their places, according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer.”

Restoration Efforts:  Zerubbabel  (Ezra 3:10) “When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the ordinance of David king of Israel.”

Restoration Efforts:  Nehemiah years after David  (12:24) “And the heads of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers across from them, to praise and give thanks, group alternating with group, according to the command of David the man of God.”

Restoration Efforts:  Nehemiah – Wall dedication  (Neh. 12:35 – 36) “and some of the priests' sons with trumpets; …with the musical instruments of David the man of God.”

Restoration Efforts:  Nehemiah – Temple Assignments  (Neh.12:45 – 46) “Both the singers and the gatekeepers kept the charge of their God and the charge of the purification, according to the command of David and Solomon his son. 46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.”

Principles Reviewed  Musical Instruments – God’s direction  The people of God continued to look back hundreds of years to what God had commanded through David in the Scripture.  Did not bring any other instruments into God’s worship without clear divine command.

Same Principle applied to Sacrifices  (2 Chron. 23:18) “Also Jehoiada appointed the oversight of the house of the LORD to the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had assigned in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was established by David.

Same Principle applied to Sacrifices  (2 Chron. 31:3) “The king (Hezekiah) also appointed a portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths and the New Moons and the set feasts, as it is written in the Law of the LORD.”

Same Principle applied to Sacrifices  (Ezra 3:2) “Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren, arose and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God.”

What is the point?  Just as these men looked back to Moses, the man of God, for authority concerning sacrifices, so they looked back to David, the man of God, for authority concerning the use of instrumental music in worship.  The divine authority concerning musical instruments was no less than the divine authority concerning the sacrifices.

Jesus: Our Pattern  “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,”  1 Peter 3:18

Jesus: Our Pattern  “And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you-- not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience-- through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.”  1 Peter 3:
