Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:21-27

After the passover followed the feast of unleavened bread, which continued seven days. How that was observed we are here told, and every thing in this account looks pleasant and lively. 1. Abundance of sacrifices were offered to God in peace-offerings, by which they both acknowledged and implored the favour of God, and on part of which the offerers feasted with their friends during these seven days (2 Chron. 30:22), in token of their communion with God and the comfort they took in his favour... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:25

And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and Levites ,.... The people that were gathered together out of the several cities of Judah, which no doubt was the largest congregation, with whom the priests and Levites are joined, as being of that kingdom, and dwellers in Jerusalem, where their office lay: and all the congregation that came out of Israel ; out of the ten tribes, particularly Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, 2 Chronicles 30:18 , and the strangers that came... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:1-27

The celebration of the Passover, with its sacred suggestions. The whole of this chapter is concerned with Hezekiah's call of priests, Levites, princes, and congregation of the people to observe and celebrate with himself the grand solemnity of the Passover. From the analogy of the precedent provided for individual cases of certain kinds of necessity ( Numbers 9:10 ), this celebration for the whole nation is fixed for the fourteenth day of the second month instead of the first. This was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:13-27

A national Passover at Jerusalem. I. THE CELEBRATING CONGREGATION . 1 . Large. "Much people; … a very great congregation" ( 2 Chronicles 30:13 ). Though this was usual at the chief religious festivals of the nation, probably so vast a concourse of people as assembled at Jerusalem in answer to the king's invitation, in the second month of the first or seventh year of his reign (see preceding homily), had not been witnessed since the days of Jehoiada ( 2 Chronicles 23:2 )... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:21-27

Religious enthusiasm. This chapter reads as if written by an eyewitness of the scenes described, so vivid is the account, so much colour is in the picture. It was evidently a time of very great enthusiasm, of spiritual exuberance. These are very pleasant, and they may be very profitable occasions; but they need to be rightly directed and well controlled. Of religious enthusiasm, we may consider— I. ITS ONLY FIRM FOUNDATION . This is a true sense of the Divine favour. Unless God... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:25

The strangers . Some consider this describes "proselytes from Israel, who were non-Israelites." But this seems a most gratuitous supposition. The Hebrew גֵרִים does, in fact, purport only "sojourners," and is frequently so translated, and our next clause corroborates this view. The interesting aspect of it is, that probably the persons described had emigrated from their own tribes, as they longed for Jerusalem, "their chief joy." read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:1-27

Hezekiah’s religious reforms (29:1-31:21)Immediately he became king, Hezekiah began a thorough reformation of Judah’s religion. This was prompted partly by the preaching of the prophet Micah (Jeremiah 26:17-19; see notes on 2 Kings 18:1-12).The Chronicler gives a detailed account of Hezekiah’s work, particularly that part of it which affected the temple, the priests and the Levites. Hezekiah called a meeting of priests and Levites and told them plainly that neglect of the temple was the reason... read more
