2 Chronicles 29:24 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:20-36

The temple being cleansed, we have here an account of the good use that was immediately made of it. A solemn assembly was called to meet the king at the temple, the very next day (2 Chron. 29:20); and very glad, no doubt, all the good people in Jerusalem were, when it was said, Let us go up to the house of the Lord, Ps. 122:1. As soon as Hezekiah heard that the temple was ready for him he lost no time, but made it appear that he was ready for it. He rose early to go up to the house of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:1-36

The reformation of Hezekiah-the thing done suddenly. Hezekiah was the thirteenth of the twenty kings of the line of Judah; but when his reign of twenty-nine years had run to its end, as many as two hundred and eighty-two yearn had sped away of the three hundred and ninety-two of the duration of the line up to the date of the Captivity. It may also be remembered that, of the seven reigns following upon that of Hezekiah, two (those of Jehoahaz and Jehoiachin) lasted only three months each.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:20-24

Confession, propitiation, consecration. By the sacrifices now offered to Jehovah, by the sin offerings and the burnt offerings, the king and the representatives of the people laying their hands upon the heads of the slain animals ( 2 Chronicles 29:23 ), three distinct sentiments were expressed, three several spiritual states were passed through—confession of sin, atonement offered for sin, consecration of themselves to the service of God. Here was made the most public and solemn... read more

The re-dedication of the temple. I. THE TIME OF THE CEREMONY . Early on the following morning. Hezekiah lost not a moment in entering upon the good work his heart contemplated ( 2 Chronicles 29:10 ), rising up with next day's dawn, gathering the rulers of the city, and proceeding with them to the house of the Lord.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 29:24

All lsrael - Hezekiah aimed at reuniting once more the whole people of Israel, if not into a single state, yet, at any rate, into a single religious communion. The northern kingdom was in a condition approaching to anarchy. The end was evidently approaching. Hoshea, the king contemporary with Hezekiah 2 Kings 18:1, ruled, not as an independent monarch, but as an Assyrian feudatory 2 Kings 17:3. Under these circumstances Hezekiah designed to invite the revolted tribes to return, if not to their... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:1-36

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
