2 Crónicas 30:21-27 RVA

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 30:26

Since the time of Solomon - there was not the like in Jerusalem - For from that time the ten tribes had been separated from the true worship of God, and now many of them for the first time, especially from Asher, Issachar, Ephraim, Manasseh, and Zebulun, joined to celebrate the passover. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 30:27

And their voice was heard - God accepted the fruits of that pious disposition which himself had infused. And their prayer came up - As the smoke of their sacrifices ascended to the clouds, so did their prayers, supplications, and thanksgivings, ascend to the heavens. The Targum says: "Their prayer came up to the dwelling-place of his holy shechinah, which is in heaven." Israel now appeared to be in a fair way of regaining what they had lost; but alas, how soon were all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:1-27

The celebration of the Passover, with its sacred suggestions. The whole of this chapter is concerned with Hezekiah's call of priests, Levites, princes, and congregation of the people to observe and celebrate with himself the grand solemnity of the Passover. From the analogy of the precedent provided for individual cases of certain kinds of necessity ( Numbers 9:10 ), this celebration for the whole nation is fixed for the fourteenth day of the second month instead of the first. This was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:13-27

A national Passover at Jerusalem. I. THE CELEBRATING CONGREGATION . 1 . Large. "Much people; … a very great congregation" ( 2 Chronicles 30:13 ). Though this was usual at the chief religious festivals of the nation, probably so vast a concourse of people as assembled at Jerusalem in answer to the king's invitation, in the second month of the first or seventh year of his reign (see preceding homily), had not been witnessed since the days of Jehoiada ( 2 Chronicles 23:2 )... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:21

See Exodus 12:18 , and many repetitions of the same matter, respecting the duration of the Passover and eating of unleavened bread. With loud instruments . Some render this, "instruments ascribing might to Jehovah." There seems no necessity for this; and the plain Hebrew text is "instruments of might," i.e. strong or loud instruments. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:21-27

Religious enthusiasm. This chapter reads as if written by an eyewitness of the scenes described, so vivid is the account, so much colour is in the picture. It was evidently a time of very great enthusiasm, of spiritual exuberance. These are very pleasant, and they may be very profitable occasions; but they need to be rightly directed and well controlled. Of religious enthusiasm, we may consider— I. ITS ONLY FIRM FOUNDATION . This is a true sense of the Divine favour. Unless God... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:22

Spake comfortably ; literally, to the heart of, etc. That taught the good knowledge . This rendering is in some error, and is awkward in not indicating the direction of the knowledge. A better rendering (see Revised Version) will be, who were well skilled in rendering such service to Jehovah. And perhaps the simplest rendering, "who served with good service to Jehovah," will be the most correct to the real meaning of the Hebrew text ( Psalms 111:10 ; Proverbs 13:15 ). Making... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:23

This and the following verso should read as one. Hezekiah no doubt wished, by prolonging the feast and the joy, to make the more lasting impression on the people and the more hopeful conversion of them. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:24

Did give . This is an inadequate rendering. Revised Version reads, did give for offerings; others read, "gave as an heave offering." In the light of our 2 Chronicles 35:7-9 , the Revised Version rendering seems sufficient. read more
