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?

Hezekiah called a meeting of priests and Levites and told them plainly that neglect of the temple was the reason... read more
