Chapter 29
Hezekiah
began
to
reign
when
he
was
five
and
twenty
years
old,
and
he
reigned
nine
and
twenty
years
in
Jerusalem.
And
his
mother’s
name
was
Abijah,
the
daughter
of
Zechariah.
2
And
he
did
that
which
was
right
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
according
to
all
that
David
his
father
had
done.
3
He
in
the
first
year
of
his
reign,
in
the
first
month,
opened
the
doors
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
repaired
them.
4
And
he
brought
in
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
and
gathered
them
together
into
the
east
street,
5
And
said
unto
them,
Hear
me,
ye
Levites,
sanctify
now
yourselves,
and
sanctify
the
house
of
the
Lord
God
of
your
fathers,
and
carry
forth
the
filthiness
out
of
the
holy
place.
6
For
our
fathers
have
trespassed,
and
done
that
which
was
evil
in
the
eyes
of
the
Lord
our
God,
and
have
forsaken
him,
and
have
turned
away
their
faces
from
the
habitation
of
the
Lord,
and
turned
their
backs.
7
Also
they
have
shut
up
the
doors
of
the
porch,
and
put
out
the
lamps,
and
have
not
burned
incense
nor
offered
burnt
offerings
in
the
holy
place
unto
the
God
of
Israel.
8
Wherefore
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
was
upon
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
and
he
hath
delivered
them
to
trouble,
to
astonishment,
and
to
hissing,
as
ye
see
with
your
eyes.
9
For,
lo,
our
fathers
have
fallen
by
the
sword,
and
our
sons
and
our
daughters
and
our
wives
are
in
captivity
for
this.
10
Now
it
is
in
mine
heart
to
make
a
covenant
with
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
that
his
fierce
wrath
may
turn
away
from
us.
11
My
sons,
be
not
now
negligent:
for
the
Lord
hath
chosen
you
to
stand
before
him,
to
serve
him,
and
that
ye
should
minister
unto
him,
and
burn
incense.
12
Then
the
Levites
arose,
Mahath
the
son
of
Amasai,
and
Joel
the
son
of
Azariah,
of
the
sons
of
the
Kohathites:
and
of
the
sons
of
Merari,
Kish
the
son
of
Abdi,
and
Azariah
the
son
of
Jehalelel:
and
of
the
Gershonites;
Joah
the
son
of
Zimmah,
and
Eden
the
son
of
Joah:
13
And
of
the
sons
of
Elizaphan;
Shimri,
and
Jeiel:
and
of
the
sons
of
Asaph;
Zechariah,
and
Mattaniah:
14
And
of
the
sons
of
Heman;
Jehiel,
and
Shimei:
and
of
the
sons
of
Jeduthun;
Shemaiah,
and
Uzziel.
15
And
they
gathered
their
brethren,
and
sanctified
themselves,
and
came,
according
to
the
commandment
of
the
king,
by
the
words
of
the
Lord,
to
cleanse
the
house
of
the
Lord.
16
And
the
priests
went
into
the
inner
part
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
to
cleanse
it,
and
brought
out
all
the
uncleanness
that
they
found
in
the
temple
of
the
Lord
into
the
court
of
the
house
of
the
Lord.
And
the
Levites
took
it,
to
carry
it
out
abroad
into
the
brook
Kidron.
17
Now
they
began
on
the
first
day
of
the
first
month
to
sanctify,
and
on
the
eighth
day
of
the
month
came
they
to
the
porch
of
the
Lord:
so
they
sanctified
the
house
of
the
Lord
in
eight
days;
and
in
the
sixteenth
day
of
the
first
month
they
made
an
end.
18
Then
they
went
in
to
Hezekiah
the
king,
and
said,
We
have
cleansed
all
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
the
altar
of
burnt
offering,
with
all
the
vessels
thereof,
and
the
shewbread
table,
with
all
the
vessels
thereof.
19
Moreover
all
the
vessels,
which
king
Ahaz
in
his
reign
did
cast
away
in
his
transgression,
have
we
prepared
and
sanctified,
and,
behold,
they
are
before
the
altar
of
the
Lord.
20
Then
Hezekiah
the
king
rose
early,
and
gathered
the
rulers
of
the
city,
and
went
up
to
the
house
of
the
Lord.
21
And
they
brought
seven
bullocks,
and
seven
rams,
and
seven
lambs,
and
seven
he
goats,
for
a
sin
offering
for
the
kingdom,
and
for
the
sanctuary,
and
for
Judah.
And
he
commanded
the
priests
the
sons
of
Aaron
to
offer
them
on
the
altar
of
the
Lord.
22
So
they
killed
the
bullocks,
and
the
priests
received
the
blood,
and
sprinkled
it
on
the
altar:
likewise,
when
they
had
killed
the
rams,
they
sprinkled
the
blood
upon
the
altar:
they
killed
also
the
lambs,
and
they
sprinkled
the
blood
upon
the
altar.
23
And
they
brought
forth
the
he
goats
for
the
sin
offering
before
the
king
and
the
congregation;
and
they
laid
their
hands
upon
them:
24
And
the
priests
killed
them,
and
they
made
reconciliation
with
their
blood
upon
the
altar,
to
make
an
atonement
for
all
Israel:
for
the
king
commanded
that
the
burnt
offering
and
the
sin
offering
should
be
made
for
all
Israel.
25
And
he
set
the
Levites
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
with
cymbals,
with
psalteries,
and
with
harps,
according
to
the
commandment
of
David,
and
of
Gad
the
king’s
seer,
and
Nathan
the
prophet:
for
so
was
the
commandment
of
the
Lord
by
his
prophets.
26
And
the
Levites
stood
with
the
instruments
of
David,
and
the
priests
with
the
trumpets.
27
And
Hezekiah
commanded
to
offer
the
burnt
offering
upon
the
altar.
And
when
the
burnt
offering
began,
the
song
of
the
Lord
began
also
with
the
trumpets,
and
with
the
instruments
ordained
by
David
king
of
Israel.
28
And
all
the
congregation
worshipped,
and
the
singers
sang,
and
the
trumpeters
sounded:
and
all
this
continued
until
the
burnt
offering
was
finished.
29
And
when
they
had
made
an
end
of
offering,
the
king
and
all
that
were
present
with
him
bowed
themselves,
and
worshipped.
30
Moreover
Hezekiah
the
king
and
the
princes
commanded
the
Levites
to
sing
praise
unto
the
Lord
with
the
words
of
David,
and
of
Asaph
the
seer.
And
they
sang
praises
with
gladness,
and
they
bowed
their
heads
and
worshipped.
31
Then
Hezekiah
answered
and
said,
Now
ye
have
consecrated
yourselves
unto
the
Lord,
come
near
and
bring
sacrifices
and
thank
offerings
into
the
house
of
the
Lord.
And
the
congregation
brought
in
sacrifices
and
thank
offerings;
and
as
many
as
were
of
a
free
heart
burnt
offerings.
32
And
the
number
of
the
burnt
offerings,
which
the
congregation
brought,
was
threescore
and
ten
bullocks,
an
hundred
rams,
and
two
hundred
lambs:
all
these
were
for
a
burnt
offering
to
the
Lord.
33
And
the
consecrated
things
were
six
hundred
oxen
and
three
thousand
sheep.
34
But
the
priests
were
too
few,
so
that
they
could
not
flay
all
the
burnt
offerings:
wherefore
their
brethren
the
Levites
did
help
them,
till
the
work
was
ended,
and
until
the
other
priests
had
sanctified
themselves:
for
the
Levites
were
more
upright
in
heart
to
sanctify
themselves
than
the
priests.
35
And
also
the
burnt
offerings
were
in
abundance,
with
the
fat
of
the
peace
offerings,
and
the
drink
offerings
for
every
burnt
offering.
So
the
service
of
the
house
of
the
Lord
was
set
in
order.
36
And
Hezekiah
rejoiced,
and
all
the
people,
that
God
had
prepared
the
people:
for
the
thing
was
done
suddenly.
