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. Should come.. at Jerusalem] This implies an endeavour to centralise the national worship by the abolition of the local sanctuaries (as described in 2 Kings 18:4).2. In the second month] The Law allowed individuals to keep the Passover in the second month instead of the first, if they were prevented by some temporary hindrance (Numbers 9:10-11), and this permission Hezekiah... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 30:8

(8) Be ye not stiffnecked.—Harden ye not your neck like your fathers. 2 Kings 17:14, “and they hardened their neck like their fathers’ neck.” (Jeremiah 7:26; Psalms 95:8-9.)But yield yourselves.—Omit but, and place a stop after fathers. “Yield ye a hand to Jehovah,” i.e., submit to Him. So 1 Chronicles 29:24. The phrase also means “to make an agreement with” (Ezra 10:19; 2 Kings 10:15). (Comp. Isaiah 2:6.)Enter into his sanctuary . . . serve the Lord.—Comp. Psalms 100:1; Psalms 100:4.Which he... 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

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

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 30:1-27

KEEPING THE PASSOVER (vv.1-27) The concern of Hezekiah to honour the Lord was then extended to his purpose that the Passover should be kept and that all Israel should be invited to this feast. Therefore he sent letters to Ephraim and Manasseh (in fact, announcing it throughout all Israel, v.6), to invite them to come to the only centre where God had ordered that the Passover should be kept, Jerusalem. At this time the ten tribes had been so overrun by enemies that they had no king reigning... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:1-27

MANASSEH TO THE CAPTIVITY MANASSEH AND AMON (2 Chronicles 33:0 ) The history of the first-named is divided into three parts: (1) the outline of his character and reign down to the crisis of his punishment (2 Chronicles 33:1-10 ); (2) his affliction and repentance in Babylon (2 Chronicles 33:11-13 ); and (3) his later career and death (2 Chronicles 33:14-20 ). The first part was considered in Kings. For the reference to “groves” and “the host of heaven,” compare Deuteronomy 16:21 ;... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Chronicles 30:1-27

Hezekiah: A True Priest 2 Chronicles 30:0 WE have seen what a wonderful reformation was wrought by Hezekiah. We have been startled to find how much can be done by one man when he gathers himself up into his whole strength, and moves step by step under the inspiration of sacred conviction. Everything was repaired, restored, returned to its place, and now Hezekiah longs to see all Israel at worship. The idea is familiar to us, but it was novel under the circumstances indicated in this chapter.... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:6-9

I admire the conduct of Hezekiah on this occasion. He not only invites his own subjects of Judah, but all Israel. For both Israel and Judah had alike revolted; and a return to the Lord God of their fathers was as much the duty and interest of Israel as of Judah. read more
