CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

2 Chronicles 29

Hezekiah begins his reign by opening and repairing the temple doors in the very first month. He gathers priests and Levites, calls them to sanctify themselves, and orders the temple cleansed after Ahaz’s neglect. The work is completed in sixteen days. Hezekiah then restores sacrifices, music, and congregational worship according to Davidic and Mosaic order. So many people bring offerings that the priests need Levitical help, and the chapter closes by emphasizing how suddenly God had prepared the people for this restoration.
