2 Chronicles 29:1 Hezekiah3169 began to reign4427whenhewas five2568 and twenty6242 years8141 old,1121 and he reigned4427 nine8672 and twenty6242 years8141 in Jerusalem.3389 And his mother's517 name8034was Abijah,29 the daughter1323 of Zechariah.21482 And he did6213thatwhichwas right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 according to all that David1732 his father1 had done.6213
2 Chronicles 29:3 He in the first7223 year8141 of his reign,4427 in the first7223 month,2320 opened6605 the doors1817 of the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and repaired2388 them.
4 And he brought in935 the priests3548 and the Levites,3881 and gathered them together622 into the east4217 street,73395 And said559 unto them, Hear8085 me, ye Levites,3881 sanctify6942 now yourselves, and sanctify6942 the house1004 of the LORD3068 God430 of your fathers,1 and carry forth3318 the filthiness5079 out of the holy6944place.6 For our fathers1 have trespassed,4603 and done6213thatwhichwas evil7451 in the eyes5869 of the LORD3068 our God,430 and have forsaken5800 him, and have turned away5437 their faces6440 from the habitation4908 of the LORD,3068 and turned5414their backs.6203{Heb. given the necks}7 Also they have shut up5462 the doors1817 of the porch,197 and put out3518 the lamps,5216 and have not burned6999 incense7004 nor offered5927 burnt offerings5930 in the holy6944place unto the God430 of Israel.34788 Wherefore the wrath7110 of the LORD3068 was upon Judah3063 and Jerusalem,3389 and he hath delivered5414 them to trouble,21892113{Heb. commotion} to astonishment,8047 and to hissing,8322 as ye see7200 with your eyes.58699 For, lo, our fathers1 have fallen5307 by the sword,2719 and our sons1121 and our daughters1323 and our wives802are in captivity7628 for this.
10 Now itis in mine heart3824 to make3772 a covenant1285 with the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 that his fierce2740 wrath639 may turn away7725 from us.
11 My sons,1121 be not now negligent:7952{Or, be not now deceived} for the LORD3068 hath chosen977 you to stand5975 before6440 him, to serve8334 him, and that ye should minister8334 unto him, and burn incense.6999{Or, offer sacrifice}
2 Chronicles 29:12 Then the Levites3881 arose,6965 Mahath4287 the son1121 of Amasai,6022 and Joel3100 the son1121 of Azariah,5838 of the sons1121 of the Kohathites:6956 and of the sons1121 of Merari,4847 Kish7027 the son1121 of Abdi,5660 and Azariah5838 the son1121 of Jehalelel:3094 and of the Gershonites;1649 Joah3098 the son1121 of Zimmah,2155 and Eden5731 the son1121 of Joah:309813 And of the sons1121 of Elizaphan;469 Shimri,8113 and Jeiel:3273 and of the sons1121 of Asaph;623 Zechariah,2148 and Mattaniah:498314 And of the sons1121 of Heman;1968 Jehiel,3171 and Shimei:8096 and of the sons1121 of Jeduthun;3038 Shemaiah,8098 and Uzziel.581615 And they gathered622 their brethren,251 and sanctified6942 themselves, and came,935 according to the commandment4687 of the king,4428 by the words1697 of the LORD,3068{Or, in the business of the LORD} to cleanse2891 the house1004 of the LORD.306816 And the priests3548 went935 into the inner part6441 of the house1004 of the LORD,3068 to cleanse2891it, and brought out3318 all the uncleanness2932 that they found4672 in the temple1964 of the LORD3068 into the court2691 of the house1004 of the LORD.3068 And the Levites3881 took6901it, to carry it out3318 abroad2351 into the brook5158 Kidron.693917 Now they began2490 on the first259day of the first7223 month2320 to sanctify,6942 and on the eighth8083 day3117 of the month2320 came935 they to the porch197 of the LORD:3068 so they sanctified6942 the house1004 of the LORD3068 in eight8083 days;3117 and in the sixteenth83376240 day of the first7223 month2320 they made an end.361518 Then they went935 in6441 to Hezekiah2396 the king,4428 and said,559 We have cleansed2891 all the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and the altar4196 of burnt offering,5930 with all the vessels3627 thereof, and the shewbread4635 table,7979 with all the vessels3627 thereof.
19 Moreover all the vessels,3627 which king4428 Ahaz271 in his reign4438 did cast away2186 in his transgression,4604 have we prepared3559 and sanctified,6942 and, behold, they are before6440 the altar4196 of the LORD.3068
2 Chronicles 29:20 Then Hezekiah3169 the king4428 rose early,7925 and gathered622 the rulers8269 of the city,5892 and went up5927 to the house1004 of the LORD.306821 And they brought935 seven7651 bullocks,6499 and seven7651 rams,352 and seven7651 lambs,3532 and seven7651 he6842 goats,5795 for a sin offering2403 for the kingdom,4467 and for the sanctuary,4720 and for Judah.3063 And he commanded559 the priests3548 the sons1121 of Aaron175 to offer5927them on the altar4196 of the LORD.306822 So they killed7819 the bullocks,1241 and the priests3548 received6901 the blood,1818 and sprinkled2236it on the altar:4196 likewise, when they had killed7819 the rams,352 they sprinkled2236 the blood1818 upon the altar:4196 they killed7819 also the lambs,3532 and they sprinkled2236 the blood1818 upon the altar.419623 And they brought forth5066{Heb. near} the he goats8163for the sin offering2403 before6440 the king4428 and the congregation;6951 and they laid5564 their hands3027 upon them:
24 And the priests3548 killed7819 them, and they made reconciliation2398 with their blood1818 upon the altar,4196 to make an atonement3722 for all Israel:3478 for the king4428 commanded559that the burnt offering5930 and the sin offering2403shouldbemade for all Israel.347825 And he set5975 the Levites3881 in the house1004 of the LORD3068{Heb. by the hand of the LORD} with cymbals,4700 with psalteries,5035 and with harps,3658 according to the commandment4687 of David,1732 and of Gad1410 the king's4428 seer,2374 and Nathan5416 the prophet:5030 for sowas the commandment4687 of3027 the LORD3068 by3027{Heb. by the hand of} his prophets.503026 And the Levites3881 stood5975 with the instruments3627 of David,1732 and the priests3548 with the trumpets.268927 And Hezekiah2396 commanded559 to offer5927 the burnt offering5930 upon the altar.4196 And when6256{Heb. in the time} the burnt offering5930 began,2490 the song7892 of the LORD3068 began2490also with the trumpets,2689 and with the instruments3627{Heb. hands of instruments}ordained by3027 David1732 king4428 of Israel.347828 And all the congregation6951 worshipped,7812 and the singers7892{Heb. song} sang,7891 and the trumpeters2689 sounded:26902690and all thiscontinued until the burnt offering5930 was finished.361529 And when they had made an end3615 of offering,5927 the king4428 and all that were present4672{Heb. found} with him bowed3766 themselves, and worshipped.781230 Moreover Hezekiah3169 the king4428 and the princes8269 commanded559 the Levites3881 to sing praise1984 unto the LORD3068 with the words1697 of David,1732 and of Asaph623 the seer.2374 And they sang praises1984 with gladness,8057 and they bowed their heads6915 and worshipped.781231 Then Hezekiah3169 answered6030 and said,559 Now ye have consecrated43903027{Or, filled your hand} yourselves unto the LORD,3068 come near5066 and bring935 sacrifices2077 and thank offerings8426 into the house1004 of the LORD.3068 And the congregation6951 brought in935 sacrifices2077 and thank offerings;8426 and as many as were of a free5081 heart3820 burnt offerings.593032 And the number4557 of the burnt offerings,5930 which the congregation6951 brought,935 was threescore and ten7657 bullocks,1241 an hundred3967 rams,352and two hundred3967 lambs:3532 all these were for a burnt offering5930 to the LORD.306833 And the consecrated things6944were six8337 hundred3967 oxen1241 and three7969 thousand505 sheep.662934 But the priests3548 were too few,4592 so that they could3201 not flay6584 all the burnt offerings:5930 wherefore their brethren251 the Levites3881 did help2388 them,{Heb. strengthened them} till the work4399 was ended,3615 and until the other priests3548 had sanctified6942 themselves: for the Levites3881were more upright3477 in heart3824 to sanctify6942 themselves than the priests.354835 And also the burnt offerings5930were in abundance,7230 with the fat2459 of the peace offerings,8002 and the drink offerings5262 for every burnt offering.5930 So the service5656 of the house1004 of the LORD3068 was set in order.355936 And Hezekiah3169 rejoiced,8055 and all the people,5971 that God430 had prepared3559 the people:5971 for the thing1697 was done suddenly.6597
