The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:15
By the words of the Lord. The Hebrew here ( בְּדִבְרֵי יְהוָה ) may possibly mean, "in the business of Jehovah," upon which King Hezekiah was now intent. But it is not by any means needful so to understand it. The words or commands of the Lord are such as are written in Exodus 19:22 ; Le 11:44. read more
