歴代誌Ⅱ 29:12-19 JCB

The reformation of Hezekiah-the thing done suddenly. Hezekiah was the thirteenth of the twenty kings of the line of Judah; but when his reign of twenty-nine years had run to its end, as many as two hundred and eighty-two yearn had sped away of the three hundred and ninety-two of the duration of the line up to the date of the Captivity.

In the first year of the king's reign, in the first month ( 2 Chronicles 29:3 , 2 Chronicles 29:17 ), but whether of that reign (Caspari) or of the ecclesiastical year (Bertheau, Keil, Jamieson, Ochler in Herzog) cannot be determined.

Then the Levites arose . This verse gives two apiece of the three divisions or "families"—Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, "sons of Levi" ( 1 Chronicles 6:1 , 1 Chronicles 6:2 , 1 Chronicles 6:16-20 ; 1 Chronicles 23:6 , 1 Chronicles 23:7 , 1 Chronicles 23:12 , 1 Chronicles 23:21 , 1 Chronicles 23:24 ; comp. Genesis 46:11 ; Exodus 6:16 ). Though some of the names of this and the following two verses are known, they do not designate, of course, the same persons. Through many a... read more

Doing duty. The way in which these Levites received and executed the commission of the king may indicate to us the way in which we should enter upon and discharge our duty. I. UNDERTAKE IT IN A RIGHT SPIRIT . These men "arose" and went forth to do what Hezekiah called upon them to execute. It will not be presuming much if, judging from the account which follows, we conclude that they undertook their work in a spirit of And that is, undoubtedly, the spirit in which we should... read more

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

The inner part . That is to say, only the priests were warranted to enter inside the temple, while the Levites' sphere of work and service lay in the courts and round about the temple. Kidron , as we have seen (note 2 Chronicles 27:3 ), lay on the east of the temple mount. read more
