2 Chronicles 29 · Grade 4
Worship Restored
Read and Think
Hezekiah began to reign at twenty-five and did right in Yahweh's eyes, according to all that David had done. He did not wait. In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of Yahweh's house that Ahaz had shut, and he repaired them.
He gathered the priests and Levites. He told them to sanctify themselves and the house of Yahweh, and to carry the filthiness out. He said their fathers forsook Yahweh and shut the doors of the porch. He said it was in his heart to make a covenant with Yahweh. He told the Levites not to be negligent now, for Yahweh had chosen them to stand before Him.
The Levites cleansed the temple in sixteen days. Hezekiah rose early and brought sin offerings for all Israel. The Levites stood with David's instruments, and when the burnt offering began, the song of Yahweh began also with the trumpets. The whole assembly worshiped. Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced because God had prepared the people, for it was done suddenly.
