HEZEKIAH'S GOOD REIGN. (Ch2 29:1-2)
Hezekiah began to reign, &c.--(see on Kg2 18:1). His mother's name, which, in Kg2 18:2, appears in an abridged form, is here given in full. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| The treatment of Hezekiah's reign by the author of Chronicles is in marked contrast with that followed in the Book of Kings. The writer of Kings describes mainly civil affairs; the author of Chronicles gives a full account of Hezekiah's religious reformation. 2 Chr. 29-31 contain matter, therefore, which is almost wholly new. |

| The beginning of his reign (Ch2 29:1, Ch2 29:2). Purification and consecration of the temple (vv. 3-36). - Ch2 29:1 and Ch2 29:2. Age of Hezekiah, duration and spirit of his reign, as in Kg2 18:1-3. With Ch2 29:3 the account of the restoration of the Jahve-worship begins. In the first year of his reign, in the first month, Hezekiah caused the temple doors to be opened, and the priests and Levites to assemble, in order that he might rouse them by an energetic address to purify the house of God from all the uncleannesses of idolatry (Ch2 29:3-11). They, vigorously commencing the work, completed the purification of the temple with its courts and vessels in sixteen days, and reported to the king what had been done (Ch2 29:12-19); and then the king and the chiefs of the city offered a great sacrifice to consecrate the purified sanctuary, upon which followed burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and thankofferings of the whole assembly (vv. 20-36). |
2 Twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] was he when he began to reign [04427]; and he reigned [04427] twenty [06242] and nine [08672] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. His mother's [0517] name [08034] also was Abi [021], the daughter [01323] of Zachariah [02148].
1 Now it came to pass in the third [07969] year [08141] of Hoshea [01954] son [01121] of Elah [0425] king [04428] of Israel [03478], that Hezekiah [02396] the son [01121] of Ahaz [0271] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began to reign [04427].
1 Hezekiah [03169] began to reign [04427] when he was five [02568] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121], and he reigned [04427] nine [08672] and twenty [06242] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Abijah [029], the daughter [01323] of Zechariah [02148].
2 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that David [01732] his father [01] had done [06213].
12 Then the Levites [03881] arose [06965], Mahath [04287] the son [01121] of Amasai [06022], and Joel [03100] the son [01121] of Azariah [05838], of the sons [01121] of the Kohathites [06956]: and of the sons [01121] of Merari [04847], Kish [07027] the son [01121] of Abdi [05660], and Azariah [05838] the son [01121] of Jehalelel [03094]: and of the Gershonites [01649]; Joah [03098] the son [01121] of Zimmah [02155], and Eden [05731] the son [01121] of Joah [03098]:
13 And of the sons [01121] of Elizaphan [0469]; Shimri [08113], and Jeiel [03273]: and of the sons [01121] of Asaph [0623]; Zechariah [02148], and Mattaniah [04983]:
14 And of the sons [01121] of Heman [01968]; Jehiel [03171], and Shimei [08096]: and of the sons [01121] of Jeduthun [03038]; Shemaiah [08098], and Uzziel [05816].
15 And they gathered [0622] their brethren [0251], and sanctified [06942] themselves, and came [0935], according to the commandment [04687] of the king [04428], by the words [01697] of the LORD [03068], to cleanse [02891] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068].
16 And the priests [03548] went [0935] into the inner part [06441] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], to cleanse [02891] it, and brought out [03318] all the uncleanness [02932] that they found [04672] in the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068] into the court [02691] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. And the Levites [03881] took [06901] it, to carry it out [03318] abroad [02351] into the brook [05158] Kidron [06939].
17 Now they began [02490] on the first [0259] day of the first [07223] month [02320] to sanctify [06942], and on the eighth [08083] day [03117] of the month [02320] came [0935] they to the porch [0197] of the LORD [03068]: so they sanctified [06942] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] in eight [08083] days [03117]; and in the sixteenth [08337] [06240] day of the first [07223] month [02320] they made an end [03615].
18 Then they went [0935] in [06441] to Hezekiah [02396] the king [04428], and said [0559], We have cleansed [02891] all the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the altar [04196] of burnt offering [05930], with all the vessels [03627] thereof, and the shewbread [04635] table [07979], with all the vessels [03627] thereof.
19 Moreover all the vessels [03627], which king [04428] Ahaz [0271] in his reign [04438] did cast away [02186] in his transgression [04604], have we prepared [03559] and sanctified [06942], and, behold, they are before [06440] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068].
3 He in the first [07223] year [08141] of his reign [04427], in the first [07223] month [02320], opened [06605] the doors [01817] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and repaired [02388] them.
4 And he brought in [0935] the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881], and gathered them together [0622] into the east [04217] street [07339],
5 And said [0559] unto them, Hear [08085] me, ye Levites [03881], sanctify [06942] now yourselves, and sanctify [06942] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01], and carry forth [03318] the filthiness [05079] out of the holy [06944] place.
6 For our fathers [01] have trespassed [04603], and done [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430], and have forsaken [05800] him, and have turned away [05437] their faces [06440] from the habitation [04908] of the LORD [03068], and turned [05414] their backs [06203].
7 Also they have shut up [05462] the doors [01817] of the porch [0197], and put out [03518] the lamps [05216], and have not burned [06999] incense [07004] nor offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] in the holy [06944] place unto the God [0430] of Israel [03478].
8 Wherefore the wrath [07110] of the LORD [03068] was upon Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389], and he hath delivered [05414] them to trouble [02189] [02113], to astonishment [08047], and to hissing [08322], as ye see [07200] with your eyes [05869].
9 For, lo, our fathers [01] have fallen [05307] by the sword [02719], and our sons [01121] and our daughters [01323] and our wives [0802] are in captivity [07628] for this.
10 Now it is in mine heart [03824] to make [03772] a covenant [01285] with the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], that his fierce [02740] wrath [0639] may turn away [07725] from us.
11 My sons [01121], be not now negligent [07952]: for the LORD [03068] hath chosen [0977] you to stand [05975] before [06440] him, to serve [08334] him, and that ye should minister [08334] unto him, and burn incense [06999].
3 He in the first [07223] year [08141] of his reign [04427], in the first [07223] month [02320], opened [06605] the doors [01817] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and repaired [02388] them.
1 Now it came to pass in the third [07969] year [08141] of Hoshea [01954] son [01121] of Elah [0425] king [04428] of Israel [03478], that Hezekiah [02396] the son [01121] of Ahaz [0271] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began to reign [04427].

3 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that David [01732] his father [01] did [06213].
2 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that David [01732] his father [01] had done [06213].
