20And the LORD heard Hezekiah and healed the people.

22And Hezekiah encouraged all the Levites who performed skillfully before the LORD. For seven days they ate their assigned portion, sacrificing peace offerings and giving thanks to the LORD, the God of their fathers. 23The whole assembly agreed to observe seven more days, so they observed seven days with joy.Cross References

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:21
2 Chronicles 30:21 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 by day, [singing] with loud instruments unto the LORD.Ver. 21. Singing with loud instruments.] Heb., With instruments of strength; or, concerning the strength and power of God, as Munster senseth it.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:21
(21) Kept the feast. . . . with great gladness.—See 1 Chronicles 13:8; 1 Chronicles 15:16, seq., 1 Chronicles 15:28, and similar passages. And the Levites.—With stringed instruments. And the priests.—With clarions. Praised.—Were praising; throughout the seven days’ festival. Singing.—Omit. With loud instruments unto the Lord.—With instruments of strength to Jehovah. This curious phrase apparently means instruments with which they ascribed strength to Jehovah; that is to say, with which they accompanied their psalms of praise. (Comp. the many psalms which glorify the strength of the God of Israel—e.g., Psalms 29:1, “Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye sons of God, ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.”) There is, however, something to be said for the Authorised Version. (Comp. 2 Chronicles 5:12-13; 1 Chronicles 15:28; 1 Chronicles 16:42, from which it appears that the chronicler preferred music that was loud and strong.)
Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 30:21
21. with loud instruments] Lit. “with instruments of strength.” It has been proposed to read “with all their might” (as 1 Chronicles 13:8). The change in Heb. amounts only to the dropping of the smallest letter (yôd).
