John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:9

For if ye turn again unto the Lord ,.... To the fear or worship of the Lord, as the Targum: your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land ; who had been carried away by Tiglathpileser, see Psalm 106:46 , for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful ; so he had proclaimed his name, as they must know, Exodus 34:6 , and will not turn away his face from you ; in wrath and anger; or withdraw... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:10

So the posts passed from city to city, through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun ,.... Through all the ten tribes, not being hindered or forbid by Hoshea king of Israel, who was one of the best of their kings, and was very willing his people should go and worship at Jerusalem if they thought fit; so that they had no excuse to make, as before, that they were forbid by their king going thither; and which it is very probable Hezekiah knew, and therefore took the freedom to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:11

Nevertheless, divers of Asher, and Manasseh, and of Zebulun, humbled themselves ,.... Confessed their idolatries and impieties, and expressed sorrow and repentance for them, and were willing to obey the commands of God, and attend his worship and ordinances: and came to Jerusalem ; to keep the passover. read more

Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart ,.... To make them unanimous in this service, hearty and willing to it, to a man, which was owing to the power and efficacy of divine grace: to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord ; to keep the passover, which they did not only in obedience to their superiors, and their orders, but considering these as agreeable to the word and will of God. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:13

And there assembled at Jerusalem much people ,.... Out of the several tribes: to keep the feast of unleavened bread : the passover, which was eaten with unleavened bread: in the second month : the month Ijar: a very great congregation ; such as had not been seen on such an occasion for many years. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:14

And they arose ,.... Before they slew and ate the passover: and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem ; which Ahaz had set up in every corner of Jerusalem, to offer sacrifices upon, 2 Chronicles 28:24 . and all the altars for incense took they away ; for as there were some to offer sacrifices on, there were others to burn incense upon, not to the Lord, but to idols, as the Targum adds: and cast them into the brook Kidron ; having reduced them to dust and ashes, see 2... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 30:1

Hezekiah sent to all Israel - It is not easy to find out how this was permitted by the king of Israel; but it is generally allowed that Hoshea, who then reigned over Israel, was one of their best kings. And as the Jews allow that at this time both the golden calves had been carried away by the Assyrians, - that at Dan by Tiglath-pileser, and that at Bethel by Shalmaneser, - the people who chose to worship Jehovah at Jerusalem were freely permitted to do it, and Hezekiah had... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 30:2

In the second month - In Ijar, as they could not celebrate it in Nisan, the fourteenth of which month was the proper time. But as they could not complete the purgation of the temple, till the sixteenth of that month, therefore they were obliged to hold it now, or else adjourn it till the next year, which would have been fatal to that spirit of reformation which had now taken place. The law itself had given permission to those who were at a distance, and could not attend to the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 30:9

And will not turn away his face from you - Well expressed by the Targum: "For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not cause his majesty to ascend up from among you, if ye will return to his fear." The shechinah, of which the Targumist speaks, is the dwelling of the Divine Presence among men, and the visible symbol of that presence. read more
