L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 31:1-21

HEZEKIAH'S WORK OF REFORMATION (vv.1-21) When Hezekiah had taken positive action to give God His true place of authority in the Passover feast, he rightly followed this up with the negative work of destroying the idolatrous pillars, images, high places and altars that had been introduced by earlier kings. The many people who had been present for the Passover carded out this destruction in the Cities of Judah, but also in Benjamin, Ephraim and Manasseh (v.1) before returning to their own... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 31:1-21

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 Prosperity of Hezekiah THIS enthusiasm is well balanced. It prayed well, struck well; it was noble in homage, it is majestic in assault. It does not strike with... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 31:1

CONTENTS The prosecution of Hezekiah's history is carried on in this chapter. He puts down the remains of idolatry. The character of Hezekiah in his sincerity is briefly spoken of. 2 Chronicles 31:1 This chapter opens in a delightful account of what followed the great festival Hezekiah and the people had observed. Reader! I know not know not what your view of things may be; but I confess that I love to see the Lord's days followed up with gracious days through the week. It is a pity, methinks,... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 31:1

Manasses, whether king Osee consented, or the people of Juda followed the dictates of their zeal, neglecting the regular order of things, which forbids the subjects of one kingdom to interfere thus with those of another. Grotius) S. Aug., q. in Deut. vii., and 12. --- If Ezechias gave orders, we may suppose that he was assured of his neighbour's consent. Josias (chap. xxxiv. 6.) followed his example after most part of Israel was led away captive, and the country obeyed the king of Assyria. C. read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Chronicles 31:1-10

Abundant Giving to God 2 Chronicles 31:1-10 This Passover left a permanent impression on the nation, and led to the complete overthrow of idolatry. The pure worship of God was now established throughout the land, and the people returned to their homes, in confident expectation that a long period of national prosperity was now in store. Hezekiah therefore turned his attention to provide for the maintenance of the Temple worship and the proper provision of revenues for the priests and Levites.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 31:1-21

The observance of the feast was followed by reorganization of the nation. The remnant gathered from Israel became the pioneers in destroying all that remained of idolatry throughout the cities of Judah, and also in Ephraim and Manasseh. The king set in order the courses of the priests and Levites for the service, and rearranged the offerings according to law. He called for the payment of the tithe, and the response seems to have been widespread and generous. All this is told in general terms... read more
