Context — The Assembly of Judahgenerated
2 Chronicles 20:19 recounts a pivotal moment when the Levites, representing the Kohathites and Korahites, stood to offer praise to the LORD during a time of crisis for Judah. This act of worship was a response to Jehoshaphat’s call for reliance on God, highlighting the importance of communal praise in Israel's spiritual life. The assembly was marked by a collective acknowledgment of God's sovereignty, as seen in the subsequent verses where they prepare for battle with faith in God's deliverance.

The Key Word — גָּד֖וֹל, ga.Dolgenerated
The Hebrew word גָּדוֹל (gadol) means 'great' and conveys a sense of magnitude, whether in size, importance, or intensity. In this context, it describes the loudness of the Levites’ praise, emphasizing the power and fervor of their worship.
This adjective can refer to various forms of greatness, including sound, as it is often used to describe the magnitude of voices or events. The parsing indicates it is an adjective, which modifies the noun 'voice' to express the extraordinary nature of their shouting.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses the phrase with a loud voice. The KJV and ASV also use this wording, maintaining the sense of volume in the praise offered.
Where translations differ is in the rendering of the adjective גָּד֖וֹל. The WEB translates it as exceedingly loud, while the BBE, DRA, KJV, LSV, NWB, and YLT opt for with a loud voice, emphasizing the act of shouting rather than the degree of loudness.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is וַיָּקֻ֧מוּ, and they stood, which governs the entire clause. This verb is followed by a noun phrase, identifying the subject (the Levites), and several prepositional phrases that detail their lineage and the purpose of their action.
The structure emphasizes the Levites' action of standing up to praise, highlighting their role in worship. The use of multiple prepositional phrases provides context about their identity and the nature of their praise, creating a rich description of the scene.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates וַיָּקֻ֧מוּ as ἀνέστησαν (anestēsan), meaning 'they rose up'. This choice reflects a direct action, paralleling the Hebrew meaning of standing up, and emphasizes the physical act of rising in worship.
The term used in the Septuagint for גָּד֖וֹל is μεγάλῃ (megale), which also means 'great' and aligns with the Hebrew's emphasis on the loudness and significance of the praise being offered.

Sometimes again it is added as an epithet of the smaller portion of the tribe, and we read of "the priests the Levites."

1. Its Meaning:
The word comes from the Latin pretium, "price," or "value," and may be defined generally as an ascription of value or worth. Praise may be bestowed upon unworthy objects or from improper motives, but true praise consists in a sincere acknowledgment of a real conviction of worth. Its type may be seen in the representation given in the Apocalypse of the adoration of God and of the Lamb, which is inspired by a sense of their worthiness to be adored (Re 4:11; 5:12).

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

יהוה is used with אלהים and suffixes, especially in D

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

Israel
The name conferred on Jacob after the great prayer-struggle at Peniel (Gen. 32:28), because “as a prince he had power with God and prevailed.” (See JACOB.) This is the common name given to Jacob’s descendants. The whole people of the twelve tribes are called “Israelites,” the “children of Israel” (Josh. 3:17; 7:25; Judg. 8:27; Jer. 3:21), and the “house of Israel” (Ex. 16:31; 40:38).
This name Israel is sometimes used emphatically for the true Israel (Ps. 73:1: Isa. 45:17; 49:3;
(the prince that prevails with God). The name given, (Genesis 32:28) to Jacob after his wrestling with the angel, (Hosea 12:4) at Peniel. Gesenius interprets Israel "soldier of God." It became the national name of the twelve tribes collectively. They are so called in (Exodus 3:16) and afterward. It is used in a narrower sense, excluding Judah, in (1 Samuel 11:8; 2 Samuel 20:1; 1 Kings 12:16) Thenceforth it was assumed and accepted as the name of the northern kingdom. After the Babylonian captivity, the returned exiles resumed the name Israel as the designation of…

By the name Israel is sometimes understood all the posterity of Israel, the seed of Jacob, 1Co 10:18; sometimes all true believers, his spiritual seed, Ro 9:6; and sometimes the kingdom of Israel, or the ten tribes, as distinct from the kingdom of Judah.
