Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 30:11-12

2 Chronicles 30:11-12. Nevertheless, divers of Asher, &c. Here is not so much as one of Ephraim mentioned; yet some of that tribe are spoken of afterward as partaking of the passover, 2 Chronicles 30:18. It is likely that these, although at first they mocked at the message, yet afterward, upon consideration, followed the example of their brethren. In Judah the hand of the Lord was to give them one heart God, by the power of his grace, inclined their hearts to a unanimous compliance... 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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 30:1-27

Reign of Hezekiah (continued)This chapter relates how a passover was kept on the second month for Israel and Judah.1.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 30:11

(11) Nevertheless divers of Asher.—But some men of Asher.—Besides these from Asher, Manasseh, Zebulun, 2 Chronicles 30:18 mentions others from Ephraim and Issachar. The two and a half tribes of the Trans-Jordan, as well as Naphtali and probably the neighbouring tribe of Dan, had been devastated by Tiglath-pileser; and the couriers went no farther than Zebulun. Part of Asher was contiguous to Zebulun; and the other three tribes mentioned by the chronicler lay south of it, so that the account is... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:1-27

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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - 2 Chronicles 30:1-27

CHAPTER 30 The Passover 1. Preparations for the great Passover (2 Chronicles 30:1-14 ) 2. The celebration of the Passover (2 Chronicles 30:15-22 ) 3. The concluding festive days (2 Chronicles 30:23-27 ) The Passover is next celebrated. It was, so to speak, the birthday of the nation, and typified the great redemption by the blood of the true Passover-Lamb. It had not been kept for a long time and as the proper yearly time for its celebration had passed, the first month, they concluded to... read more

30:12 Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one {i} heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.(i) He shows the reason why some obey and some mock God’s calling, that is, because his Spirit is with the one sort and moves in their heart, and the others are left to themselves. read more
