The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:1-36
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. It may also be remembered that, of the seven reigns following upon that of Hezekiah, two (those of Jehoahaz and Jehoiachin) lasted only three months each.... read more

The purification of the temple. I. THE GATHERING OF THE PRIESTS AND LEVITES . ( 2 Chronicles 29:4 .) 1 . When ? 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.

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:5
Sanctify … yourselves; Hebrew, הִתְקַדְּשׁוּ . Note the absence of any such direction in 1 Chronicles 13:1-14 , and see 2 Chronicles 15:11-14 , with our note on 2 Chronicles 15:12 in particular. The filthiness ; Hebrew, אֶת־הַגְּדִּה . This word occurs twenty-seven times, and is rendered "separation" fifteen times, "flowers" twice, "put apart" three times, "uncleanness" or "filthiness" six times, and "menstruous" once. The term, therefore, is among the strongest that could... read more

Wherefore the wrath . As illustrated by the defeats and humiliations suffered at the hands of Pekah and Hazael, the Philistines and Edomites, and the Assyrians under Tiglath-Pileser. To trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing . Three words, carrying each a volume of meaning, and charged with the most powerful and painful of reminiscence ( Deuteronomy 28:25 , Deuteronomy 28:28 , Deuteronomy 28:32 [ observe our Deuteronomy 28:9 ], Deuteronomy 28:37 , Deuteronomy 28:46 , ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:11
Be not now negligent ; Hebrew, אַל־תִּשָּׁלוּ . This verb in kal (supposing it the same verb) occurs but five times ( Job 3:26 ; Job 12:6 ; Psalms 122:6 ; Jeremiah 12:1 ; Lamentations 1:5 ), the radical idea of it being the safety of ease or security rather than any absolute safety. In niph. it is found only in this place and in 2 Kings 4:28 , where the rendering of the Authorized Version, "Do not deceive me," will easily yield the same essential idea. The derivative... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:1-11
The height of opportunity. To Hezekiah as he ascended the throne of Judah there was presented a very noble opportunity. His father had brought the nation down very low, had left it "naked" to its various enemies, had caused it to incur the sore displeasure of the Lord, had suffered it to reach the very verge of destruction. But he himself was young and strong; he knew what was the secret and what the source of prosperity; he indulged the hope that everything might yet be restored if... read more
