The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:26-36

The public worship of God. The record of the latter part of the proceedings on this solemn occasion at Jerusalem may well suggest to us some aspects of public worship at all times. I. ANTICIPATIVE SERVICE . David, who lived several generations before, bad his hand in that good work. The Levites played with "the instruments of David King of Israel" ( 2 Chronicles 29:27 ); and they "sang praise with the words of David and of Asaph" ( 2 Chronicles 29:30 ). A very great and... read more

Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering . This verse and the following, with graphic brevity, purport to describe the actual consummating of the preparations rehearsed before, and, as seems most probable, in the significance of the last clause of Ezra 8:35 , already referred to. The whole of the burnt offering was burnt on the altar, but of the sin offering the "fat" alone (Le Ezra 4:19 ). read more

Bowed ; Hebrew, כָּרְעוּ . Of the force and forcibleness of the verb hero employed an idea may be obtained from comparison of Genesis 49:9 ; Numbers 24:9 ; 5:27 ; 7:6 ; 1 Kings 19:18 . Worshipped ; Hebrew, יִשְׁתַּחֲווּ . This verb, on the other hand, proclaims the force, not of the posture of the body merely, but rather of the mind, in the rising degrees of respect, reverence, allegiance, and the worship of profound adoration paid to him, who is "God over all, blessed... read more

With the words of David, and of Asaph . We can scarcely exclude from our thought the impression that loving human reverence for their own past religious helpers of song and music, and enthusiasm for the memory of them, were hero glanced at. The king's and the princes ' supplementary (moreover) injunction and instruction to the Levites as to what words they should put on their lips. Asaph the seer . This is the only place in which Asaph is thus distinctly named seer, but it is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:31

Ye have consecrated yourselves . The Hebrew text is, "have filled your hands to Jehovah." Our somewhat awkward and somewhat misleading reproduction in English of the Hebrew text is, nevertheless, on the whole defensible. The phrase occurs some seventeen times ( Exodus 28:41 ; Exodus 29:9 , Exodus 29:29 , Exodus 29:33 , Exodus 29:35 ; Exodus 32:29 ; Le 8:33; Exodus 16:32 ; Exodus 21:10 ; Numbers 3:3 ; 17:5 , 17:12 ; 1 Kings 13:33 ; 1 Chronicles 29:5 ; 2 Chronicles... read more

The revival of religion in Church or state. I. PREPARATORY STEPS . In order to secure such an awakening of religious life as took place in Judah under Hezekiah, three things are indispensable. 1 . Confession of sin. "Our fathers have trespassed," etc. ( 2 Chronicles 29:6 ). As all religion begins with saying, "Father, I have sinned" ( Luke 15:18 ), so the first symptoms of reviving life in souls that have been apathetic is acknowledgment of their trespass ( Psalms 51:3 ). ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 29:27

All had hitherto been preparatory. Now Hezekiah gave orders that “the burnt offering” - i. e. the daily morning sacrifice - should be offered upon the brass altar in front of the porch, thus restoring and reinstituting the regular temple-service. A burst of music gave notice to the people of the moment when the old worship recommenced. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 29:31

Hezekiah addresses, not the priests, but the congregation: “Now that by the atoning sacrifice which has been offered for you, you are consecrated once more to be a holy people to the Lord, approach with confidence and offer your free-will offerings as of old.”Burnt offerings - The term thus translated is applied especially to those victims which were to be wholly consumed upon the altar. In the “sacrifices,” or peace offerings generally, and the “thank offerings” - a particular kind of peace... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 29:27

2 Chronicles 29:27. When the burnt-offering began, the song of the Lord began also The psalms composed by David and Asaph, (2 Chronicles 29:30,) with the musical instruments which God, by his prophets, had commanded to be used, (2 Chronicles 29:25,) and which had been long neglected. Even sorrow for sin must not put us out of tune for praising God. By faith we must even then rejoice in the Lord our righteousness, and our prayers and praises must ascend with his offering, to be accepted... read more
