Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 29:15

(15) They gathered their brethren.—As chiefs, or heads of houses, they had the requisite authority. The families mostly concerned would naturally be those residing in Jerusalem.According to the commandment of the king, by the words of the Lord—i.e., through the words of Jehovah; a mandate based on the words of Jehovah, as recorded in the written Law. Comp. 1 Chronicles 25:5, and 2 Chronicles 30:12. Also 2 Chronicles 29:25, below: “For by the hand of Jehovah was the commandment” (Note). read more

The interior of the Temple proper is meant, which the Levites might not enter, but only the priests, according to the legal rule.Brought out all the uncleanness.—Tum’ah (Leviticus 5:3; Judges 13:7).

Sacrifice and Song 2 Chronicles 29:27 Hezekiah was an excellent monarch although he had a very vicious father. We have a proverb which says 'like father, like son,' but that is far from being always true. Eli, a good and pious man, had sons who were a byword for profanity; and Ahaz, who was a rebel against God, had Godfearing Hezekiah for his child. In the first month of the first year of his reign Hezekiah opened the doors of the temple. He recognized that social prosperity runs its roots... read more

HEZEKIAH: THE RELIGIOUS VALUE OF MUSIC2 Chronicles 29:1-36; 2 Chronicles 30:1-27; 2 Chronicles 31:1-21; 2 Chronicles 32:1-33THE bent of the chronicler’s mind is well illustrated by the proportion of space assigned to ritual by him and by the book of Kings respectively. In the latter a few lines only are devoted to ritual, and the bulk of the space is given to the invasion of Sennacherib, the embassy from Babylon, etc., while in Chronicles ritual occupies about three times as many verses as... read more

6. Reformation under Hezekiah CHAPTER 29 Hezekiah and the Beginning of the Revival 1. The record of his reign (2 Chronicles 29:1-2 ) 2. The purification of the temple (2 Chronicles 29:3-19 ) 3. The restored worship (2 Chronicles 29:20-30 ) 4. The great offerings (2 Chronicles 29:31-36 ) Compare chapters 29-32 with 2 Kings 18-20 and the annotations given there. The reformation which took place under the reign of the godly son of ungodly Ahaz was a thorough and remarkable one. He did... read more

29:16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to {f} cleanse [it], and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took [it], to carry [it] out abroad into the brook Kidron.(f) From the pollution and filth that Ahaz had brought in. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 29:1-36

HEZEKIAH MADE KING (vv.1-2) Hezekiah took the place of Ahaz in reigning over Judah at the age of 25 years. His mother's name, Abijah, is told us. She must have been a far different character than her husband, because her son did what was right in the sight of the Lord, in sharp contrast to his father's wickedness (v.2). Though his father was an exceptionally bad example, Hezekiah did not follow that example, and every individual should realise that he does not have to go in his father's... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:1-36

JEHORAM TO HEZEHIAH JEHORAM (2 Chronicles 21:0 ) Jehoshaphat followed Rehoboam’s example in arranging for his sons (2 Chronicles 21:3 ), but without the hoped-for result (2 Chronicles 21:4 ). Such a brother as Jehoram proved might be expected to act in his kingly capacity as verses five to seven testify. Elijah (2 Chronicles 21:12 ) may be mistaken of the transcribers for Elisha, as the former died earlier (2 Kings 2:0 ); unless we take the view in the margin that this was a “writing” he... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Chronicles 29:1-36

Hezekiah: A True King 2 Chronicles 29:0 WE have not spared condemnation in the case of Ahaz. In this chapter we have once more the mystery of a bad father having a good son. There were few worse men than Ahaz; there were few better men than Hezekiah. There is a law in this progression and retrogression which we cannot understand. It is wholly bewildering that a philosopher should have a fool for a son, and that a fool should have a philosopher for his firstborn. There is one thing absolutely... read more
