2 Chronicles 29 · Grade 5

The Doors Opened

Name Date

Read and Think

Hezekiah inherited a closed temple. His father Ahaz had shut its doors. Hezekiah acted immediately: in the first month of his first year he reopened and repaired them. In Chronicles he is compared to David more fully than any king since Solomon.

His speech to the Levites joins confession and hope. He said their fathers trespassed, shut the doors, put out the lamps, and stopped the offerings, so wrath came on Judah. Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh. The Levites cleansed the house in sixteen days, carrying out the uncleanness to the brook Kidron.

Then worship returned in order. Sin offerings were made for all Israel. Singers and trumpets joined as the burnt offering began, and the whole assembly bowed. The people brought so many offerings that the priests needed the Levites' help. In the New Testament, the writer of Hebrews says believers may enter the holy place with boldness by the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10:19).
