The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:1-11

Letters to Ephraim: generosity. Hezekiah now took a very bold and decided course. There had been no direct dealings between the king or court of Judah and the people of Ephraim (Israel) since the kingdom of David was rent in twain. If we understand that this action was taken in the first year of his reign, while Hoshea was on the throne of Samaria, it certainly was bold even to audacity, and was calculated to rouse the resentment of that ruler. If, however, we hold (with Keil and others)... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:1-12

Preparations for a grand national Passover. I. A PASSOVER DECIDED ON . ( 2 Chronicles 30:1 , 2 Chronicles 30:5 .) 1 . By whom ! Hezekiah, his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, with both of whom he had taken counsel. The important step, not adopted without deliberation, was concurred in by the entire body of the people ( 2 Chronicles 30:4 ). If any in the nation held aloof, these were the priests and the Levites ( 2 Chronicles 30:15 ). 2 . For whom... 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 30:5

Of a long time . Though the idea expressed in this rendering must, under any circumstances, attach to this passage, yet it can scarcely be understood to be given in the one Hebrew word we have here ( לָרֹב ); out of nearly a hundred and fifty occurrences of the word, and often with its present preposition, this is the solitary occasion of its being turned into a mark of time. The translation should read, for they had not kept it in multitude, i.e. in proper multitudes, and in the... read more

So the posts (see note on 2 Chronicles 30:1 ). The remnant of you … escaped … of Assyria . Hezekiah had, no doubt, already made his account with the fact that the injured and crushed state of the northern kingdom might be of salutary omen for the attempt on his part to bring them to a sense of their past sins, specially perhaps of omission. Of the calamities of Israel, and their captivity in large part, and in the rest subjection by tribute to Assyria, there is clear testimony in 2... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:6-9

Four reasons for repentance. The letters which Hezekiah sent throughout the cities and villages of Israel contained an earnest exhortation to repentance; they urged upon the inhabitants of that distressed land that, for the strongest reasons, they should return from their idolatrous ways, and worship the true and living God in his own temple. These considerations are fourfold. I. IT IS TO THE GOD OF THEIR FATHERS THEY WERE EXHORTED TO RETURN . "Children of... read more

Be ye not stiff-necked (see Deuteronomy 16:1-22 , Deuteronomy 17:1-20 ). Yield yourselves ; literally, give the hand (see 1 Chronicles 29:24 ; Ezra 10:19 , etc .). Which he hath sanctified for ever (see Psalms 132:13 , Psalms 132:14 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:10

Through … Ephraim and Manasseh . The way in which the names of these two tribes are here used may explain in part the use of them in brief for simple reasons of the convenience of brevity in verse 1. They laughed them to scorn, and mocked them . These two words speak significant description of the exact moral state in which Israel's tribes were now to be found. Even unto Zebulun . What of the country lay north of Zebulun had been so wasted by Assyria that practically Zebulnn is spoken of... read more
