Contextual Overview

1 Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old. And he ruled for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah. 2 Hezekiah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. He did all that his father David had done. 3 In the first month of the first year of his rule, he opened the doors of the Lord's house and made them like new. 4 He brought in the religious leaders and the Levites, and gathered them in the open space on the east side. 5 Then he said to them, "Listen to me, O Levites. Now make yourselves holy. And make holy the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers. Carry what is unclean out from the holy place. 6 For our fathers have not been faithful. They have done what is bad in the eyes of the Lord our God. They have left Him and turned their faces away from the house of the Lord. They have turned their backs. 7 They have also shut the doors of the porch and put out the lamps. They have not burned special perfume or given burnt gifts in the holy place to the God of Israel. 8 So the Lord was angry with Judah and Jerusalem. He has made them an object of fear and wonder and shame, as you see with your own eyes. 9 See, our fathers have fallen by the sword. And our sons, our daughters and our wives have been taken away to a strange land because of this. 10 Now it is in my heart to make an agreement with the Lord God of Israel, that His burning anger may turn away from us.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXIX

Hezekiah's good reign, 1, 2.

He opens and repairs the doors of the temple, 3.

He assembles and exhorts the priests and Levites, and proposes

to renew the covenant with the Lord, 4-11.

They all sanctify themselves and cleanse the temple, 12-17.

They inform the king of their progress, 18, 19.

He collects the rulers of the people: and they offer abundance

of sin-offerings, and burnt-offerings, and worship the Lord,

20-30.

Every part of the Divine service is arranged, and Hezekiah and

all the people rejoice, 31-36.
