Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
5:11-14 The Chronicler complements the dedication of the Temple with a detailed description of a great celebration. He names the three specific orders of singers and all their kinsmen. The 120 . . . trumpeters apparently included five priests from each of the 24 divisions (1 Chr 24:3-19). The sanctified priests, their standard apparel of fine linen robes, the musical instruments, the singers, and the trumpeters were all correctly positioned. When the priests exited, the musicians raised their song, and the cloud of the glorious presence of the Lord filled the Temple.
