Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:1-12

Here is, I. A passover resolved upon. That annual feast was instituted as a memorial of the bringing of the children of Israel out of Egypt. It happened that the reviving of the temple service fell within the appointed days of that feast, the seventeenth day of the first month: this brought that forgotten solemnity to mind. ?What shall we do,? says Hezekiah, ?about the passover? It is a very comfortable ordinance, and has been long neglected. How shall we revive it? The time has elapsed for... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:13-20

The time appointed for the passover having arrived, a very great congregation came together upon the occasion, 2 Chron. 30:13. Now here we have, I. The preparation they made for the passover, and good preparation it was: They took away all the idolatrous altars that were found, not only in the temple, but in Jerusalem, 2 Chron. 30:14. Before they kept the feast, they cast out this old leaven. The best preparation we can make for the gospel passover is to cast away our iniquities, our spiritual... read more

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 30:10

So the posts passed from city to city, through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun ,.... Through all the ten tribes, not being hindered or forbid by Hoshea king of Israel, who was one of the best of their kings, and was very willing his people should go and worship at Jerusalem if they thought fit; so that they had no excuse to make, as before, that they were forbid by their king going thither; and which it is very probable Hezekiah knew, and therefore took the freedom to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:11

Nevertheless, divers of Asher, and Manasseh, and of Zebulun, humbled themselves ,.... Confessed their idolatries and impieties, and expressed sorrow and repentance for them, and were willing to obey the commands of God, and attend his worship and ordinances: and came to Jerusalem ; to keep the passover. read more

Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart ,.... To make them unanimous in this service, hearty and willing to it, to a man, which was owing to the power and efficacy of divine grace: to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord ; to keep the passover, which they did not only in obedience to their superiors, and their orders, but considering these as agreeable to the word and will of God. read more

And there assembled at Jerusalem much people ,....

And they arose ,.... Before they slew and ate the passover: and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem ; which Ahaz had set up in every corner of Jerusalem, to offer sacrifices upon, 2 Chronicles 28:24 . and all the altars for incense took they away ; for as there were some to offer sacrifices on, there were others to burn incense upon, not to the Lord, but to idols, as the Targum adds: and cast them into the brook Kidron ; having reduced them to dust and ashes, see 2... read more

Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month ,.... For though they could not keep it in the month in which it should have been kept, for the reasons before given, yet they kept it on the day of the month in which it was observed: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed ; of their negligence and backwardness to service, and to fit themselves for it, when they saw the people so forward and ready to attend to it: and they sanctified themselves ; by... read more

And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God ,.... The priests in their place, and the Levites in theirs, in which they were ordered to stand when they offered sacrifice: the priests sprinkled the blood , which they received of the hand of the Levites; the blood either of the burnt offerings before mentioned, or of the passover lambs, which the Levites slew, and received the blood of them in basins; and which the priests took of them, and... read more
