Exegesis

The verse opens with the coordinating conjunction vav {וְ | wə} linking ve-hakohanim {וְהַכֹּהֲנִים | wə-hākōhănîm} “and the priests” to the locative prepositional phrase al-mishmerotam {עַל־מִשְׁמְרוֹתָם | ʿal-mišmərōtām} “on their stations,” followed by the qal participle omdim {עֹמְדִים | ˀômdîm} “standing” to form a circumstantial clause.

In context — 2 Chronicles 7:6

And the priests were standing on their stations, and the Levites with the musical instruments of the LORD that King David had made to give thanks to the LORD, for his steadfast love is forever, as they gave praise in their ministry; opposite them the priests were blowing trumpets, and all Israel was standing.
