John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 29:1-36

The Reign of HezekiahThis chapter describes a cleansing of the Temple and a sacrifice for the sins of the people.This and the following 2 Chronicles 30-32, cover the same period as 2 Kings 18-20, but, for the most part, have in view a different side of Hezekiah’s reign, Chronicles relating in great detail his religious reforms, whilst Kings is concerned mainly with the political events of the time.3. Opened the doors] The Temple had been closed by Ahaz: 2 Chronicles 28:24. 4. The east street]... read more

Sacrifice and Song 2 Chronicles 29:27 Hezekiah was an excellent monarch although he had a very vicious father. We have a proverb which says 'like father, like son,' but that is far from being always true. Eli, a good and pious man, had sons who were a byword for profanity; and Ahaz, who was a rebel against God, had Godfearing Hezekiah for his child. In the first month of the first year of his reign Hezekiah opened the doors of the temple. He recognized that social prosperity runs its roots... read more

HEZEKIAH: THE RELIGIOUS VALUE OF MUSIC2 Chronicles 29:1-36; 2 Chronicles 30:1-27; 2 Chronicles 31:1-21; 2 Chronicles 32:1-33THE bent of the chronicler’s mind is well illustrated by the proportion of space assigned to ritual by him and by the book of Kings respectively. In the latter a few lines only are devoted to ritual, and the bulk of the space is given to the invasion of Sennacherib, the embassy from Babylon, etc., while in Chronicles ritual occupies about three times as many verses as... read more

6. Reformation under Hezekiah CHAPTER 29 Hezekiah and the Beginning of the Revival 1. The record of his reign (2 Chronicles 29:1-2 ) 2. The purification of the temple (2 Chronicles 29:3-19 ) 3. The restored worship (2 Chronicles 29:20-30 ) 4. The great offerings (2 Chronicles 29:31-36 ) Compare chapters 29-32 with 2 Kings 18-20 and the annotations given there. The reformation which took place under the reign of the godly son of ungodly Ahaz was a thorough and remarkable one. He did... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 29:1-36

HEZEKIAH MADE KING (vv.1-2) Hezekiah took the place of Ahaz in reigning over Judah at the age of 25 years. His mother's name, Abijah, is told us. She must have been a far different character than her husband, because her son did what was right in the sight of the Lord, in sharp contrast to his father's wickedness (v.2). Though his father was an exceptionally bad example, Hezekiah did not follow that example, and every individual should realise that he does not have to go in his father's... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:1-36

JEHORAM TO HEZEHIAH JEHORAM (2 Chronicles 21:0 ) Jehoshaphat followed Rehoboam’s example in arranging for his sons (2 Chronicles 21:3 ), but without the hoped-for result (2 Chronicles 21:4 ). Such a brother as Jehoram proved might be expected to act in his kingly capacity as verses five to seven testify. Elijah (2 Chronicles 21:12 ) may be mistaken of the transcribers for Elisha, as the former died earlier (2 Kings 2:0 ); unless we take the view in the margin that this was a “writing” he... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Chronicles 29:1-36

Hezekiah: A True King 2 Chronicles 29:0 WE have not spared condemnation in the case of Ahaz. In this chapter we have once more the mystery of a bad father having a good son. There were few worse men than Ahaz; there were few better men than Hezekiah. There is a law in this progression and retrogression which we cannot understand. It is wholly bewildering that a philosopher should have a fool for a son, and that a fool should have a philosopher for his firstborn. There is one thing absolutely... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:31-36

How beautiful and interesting to behold the joy both of king and people in the view they now had of the house of God being cleansed; and that peace being made with God, they had now free access to the temple service as heretofore. But Reader! how infinitely more beautiful is this subject considered as typical and figurative, with an eye to Jesus. Having peace with God (saith an apostle) in the blood of his cross, we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 29:20-36

20-36 As soon as Hezekiah heard that the temple was ready, he lost no time. Atonement must be made for the sins of the last reign. It was not enough to lament and forsake those sins; they brought a sin-offering. Our repentance and reformation will not obtain pardon but in and through Christ, who was made sin, that is, a sin-offering for us. While the offerings were on the altar, the Levites sang. Sorrow for sin must not prevent us from praising God. The king and the congregation gave their... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 29:20-36

The Service of the Temple Set in Order v. 20. Then Hezekiah the king rose early, full of anxious zeal to complete the cleansing of the Temple, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord. Since all the people of his kingdom could not be reached, he wanted at least the princes of Jerusalem to be the representatives of the people. v. 21. And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats, the number seven being the sacred number,... read more
