Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| All lsrael - Hezekiah aimed at reuniting once more the whole people of Israel, if not into a single state, yet, at any rate, into a single religious communion. The northern kingdom was in a condition approaching to anarchy. The end was evidently approaching. Hoshea, the king contemporary with Hezekiah Kg2 18:1, ruled, not as an independent monarch, but as an Assyrian feudatory Kg2 17:3. Under these circumstances Hezekiah designed to invite the revolted tribes to return, if not to their old temporal, at least to their old spiritual, allegiance Ch2 30:5-10. In order, therefore, to prepare the way for this return, he included "all Israel" in the expiatory sacrifice, by which he prefaced his restoration of the old worship. |

5 So they established [05975] a decree [01697] to make proclamation [05674] [06963] throughout all Israel [03478], from Beersheba [0884] even to Dan [01835], that they should come [0935] to keep [06213] the passover [06453] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] at Jerusalem [03389]: for they had not done [06213] it of a long [07230] time in such sort as it was written [03789].
6 So the posts [07323] went [03212] with the letters [0107] from [03027] the king [04428] and his princes [08269] throughout all Israel [03478] and Judah [03063], and according to the commandment [04687] of the king [04428], saying [0559], Ye children [01121] of Israel [03478], turn again [07725] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and Israel [03478], and he will return [07725] to the remnant [07604] of you, that are escaped [06413] out of the hand [03709] of the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804].
7 And be not ye like your fathers [01], and like your brethren [0251], which trespassed [04603] against the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01], who therefore gave them up [05414] to desolation [08047], as ye see [07200].
8 Now be ye not stiffnecked [07185] [06203], as your fathers [01] were, but yield [05414] yourselves [03027] unto the LORD [03068], and enter [0935] into his sanctuary [04720], which he hath sanctified [06942] for ever [05769]: and serve [05647] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], that the fierceness [02740] of his wrath [0639] may turn away [07725] from you.
9 For if ye turn again [07725] unto the LORD [03068], your brethren [0251] and your children [01121] shall find compassion [07356] before [06440] them that lead them captive [07617], so that they shall come again [07725] into this land [0776]: for the LORD [03068] your God [0430] is gracious [02587] and merciful [07349], and will not turn away [05493] his face [06440] from you, if ye return [07725] unto him.
10 So the posts [07323] passed [05674] from city [05892] to city [05892] through the country [0776] of Ephraim [0669] and Manasseh [04519] even unto Zebulun [02074]: but they laughed them to scorn [07832], and mocked [03932] them.
3 Against him came up [05927] Shalmaneser [08022] king [04428] of Assyria [0804]; and Hoshea [01954] became his servant [05650], and gave [07725] him presents [04503].
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].
33 And they shall eat [0398] those things wherewith the atonement was made [03722], to consecrate [04390] [03027] and to sanctify [06942] them: but a stranger [02114] shall not eat [0398] thereof, because they are holy [06944].
24 Seventy [07657] weeks [07620] are determined [02852] upon thy people [05971] and upon thy holy [06944] city [05892], to finish [03607] the transgression [06588], and to make an end [08552] [02856] of sins [02403], and to make reconciliation [03722] for iniquity [05771], and to bring in [0935] everlasting [05769] righteousness [06664], and to seal up [02856] the vision [02377] and prophecy [05030], and to anoint [04886] the most [06944] Holy [06944].
