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

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

For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified ,.... Or purified from uncleanness, contracted either by idolatry, or through such things which, according to the ceremonial law, made them unclean, and from which they had not now time to cleanse themselves according to the law: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for everyone that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the Lord ; this they did for the masters of families, who were... read more

For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun ,.... All which were of the ten tribes, where idolatry had prevailed for a long time: had not cleansed themselves ; from impurity contracted by idolatry and other things: yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written ; because they ate it in their uncleanness, which was not according to the law, that required that such should be clean that ate of any holy things, see John 18:28 but... read more

And the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah ,.... Heard his prayer, and accepted of it, and granted what he desired: and healed his people ; that is, forgave their sins, as Kimchi interprets it; forgiveness being expressed by healing, for which he refers to Psalm 41:4 to which may be added Psalm 103:3 and which was known either by a prophet sent to declare it, or by not punishing them for their offence. read more
