Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:21-27

After the passover followed the feast of unleavened bread, which continued seven days. How that was observed we are here told, and every thing in this account looks pleasant and lively. 1. Abundance of sacrifices were offered to God in peace-offerings, by which they both acknowledged and implored the favour of God, and on part of which the offerers feasted with their friends during these seven days (2 Chron. 30:22), in token of their communion with God and the comfort they took in his favour... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:27

Then the priests the Levites arose ,.... The priests who were of the tribe of Levi; for there were some in Israel that were not, but were made of any of the people, as in the times of Jeroboam; though some supply the copulative "and"; so the Targum: "and blessed the people"; which was the proper work and business of the priests to do; though, while they were blessing, the Levites might be singing: and their voice was heard ; meaning not by the people, though undoubtedly it was, but by... 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

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 30:21-27

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 30:27

The priests the Levites; i.e. the priest-Levites, and not other Levites ( Deuteronomy 17:18 ; Joshua 3:3 ). The Septuagint, therefore, is wrong in inserting "and." A parallel expression in the New Testament is "Men brethren" ( Acts 1:16 ; Acts 2:29 , etc.). The priests were those authorized to bless ( Numbers 6:23-26 ; 1 Chronicles 23:13 ). read more

2 Chronicles 30:27. Then the priests the Levites arose, and blessed the people That is, those of the Levites who were priests also, for to them only this work belonged, 1 Chronicles 23:13. In performing this office, they were both the people’s mouth to God, by way of prayer, and God’s mouth to the people, by way of promise; for the blessing included both. And in it they testified both their desire of the people’s welfare, and their dependance upon God and the word of his grace, to which... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:1-27

Hezekiah’s religious reforms (29:1-31:21)Immediately he became king, Hezekiah began a thorough reformation of Judah’s religion. This was prompted partly by the preaching of the prophet Micah (Jeremiah 26:17-19; see notes on 2 Kings 18:1-12).The Chronicler gives a detailed account of Hezekiah’s work, particularly that part of it which affected the temple, the priests and the Levites. Hezekiah called a meeting of priests and Levites and told them plainly that neglect of the temple was the reason... read more
