1 Hezekiah's good reign.
3 He restores religion.
5 He exhorts the Levites.
12 They sanctify themselves, and cleanse the house of God
20 Hezekiah offers solemn sacrifices, wherein the Levites are
more forward than the priests.
* A.M. 3278-3306. B.C. 726-698. Hezekiah.

Of several of Hezekiah's predecessors it had been said that
they did that which was right, but not like David, that is,
not with David's integrity and zeal.

19756
Those, says Matthew Henry, who turn their backs upon God's
ordinances, may truly be said to forsake God himself. The
lamps were not lighted, and incense was not burnt: there are
still such neglects as these, and they are no less culpable,
if the Word be not duly read and opened, answering to the
lighting of the lamps, and if prayers and praises be not duly
offered up, which was signified by the burning of incense.

It is probable Hezekiah refers to that dreadful defeat by the
Israelites, in which one hundred and twenty thousand were
slain, and two hundred thousand taken prisoners: see ch.
28:6-8.

To renew that covenant under which the whole people were
constantly considered, and of which circumcision was the sign,
and the spirit of which was, "I will be your God, ye shall be
my people."

19765
* the priests.
The priests and Levites cleansed first the courts both of the
priests and of the people. On this labour they spent eight
days. Then they cleansed the interior of the temple; but, as
the Levites had no right to enter the temple, the priests
carried all the dirt and rubbish to the porch, whence they
were collected by the Levites, carried away, and cast into the
brook Kidron: in this work, eight more days were occupied;
and thus the temple was purified in sixteen days.

Or, as the LXX., Vulgate, and Targum read, "did pollute,"
{hizneeach,} he rendered them so abominable that they were
rejected with abhorrence.

* they brought.
The law only required one bullock for the sins of the high
priest, another for the sins of the people, and one he-goat
for the sins of the prince: but Hezekiah offered many more,
and the reason appears sufficiently evident: the law only
speaks of the sins of ignorance, but here there were sins of
every dye, idolatry, apostasy from the Divine worship,
profanation of the temple, etc., etc. The sin offerings, we
are informed, were offered, first, for the Kingdom, for the
transgressions of the king and his family; secondly, for the
sanctuary, which had been defiled and polluted; and for the
priests, who had been profane, negligent, and unholy; and
finally, for Judah, for the whole mass of the people, who had
been led away into every kind of abomination by the above
examples.

As the burnt offerings were wholly consumed on the altar, the
offering of them evinced greater zeal and liberality than the
oblation of peace offerings, the greater part of which was
eaten by the officer and his friends.
# Le 1:3 23:38 Ezr 1:4
19781
* the number.
Comparing the sacrifices offered on this occasion with those
of Solomon at the dedication of the temple, we may form some
idea of the decrease of the prosperity and riches of Judah, or
of the decline of the general spirit of piety.
# 1Ki 3:4 8:63 1Ch 29:21 Ezr 6:17
19782
* the consecrated.
It is probable that the consecrated things denote the peace
offerings and thank offerings.

19783
* the priests.
Peace offerings, and such like, the Levites might flay and
dress; but the whole burnt offerings could only be touched by
the priests, except in a case of necessity, such as the
present.

* Hezekiah rejoiced.
Both Hezekiah and the people rejoiced, that God had prepared
the hearts of the people to bring about so great and glorious
a reformation in so short a time. This good king's example
and influence were here, as in many other cases, under God,
the grand spring of all those mighty movements.

* in the second month.
In Ijar, as they could not celebrate in Nisan, the 14th of
which month was the proper time. But Hezekiah and his
counsellors justly concluded, that the regulation of the 14th
day of the second month, which had been made for individuals
who were hindered from eating the passover at the appointed
season, might in their present circumstances be extended to
the people at large.

It has been said, that Hezekiah had no right to invite
Hoshea's subjects to repair to Jerusalem to his passover; but
it may be presumed, that he was encouraged to do this by
Hoshea himself, who was one of their best kings; besides
which, both the golden calves having been taken away by the
Assyrians, the apostate Israelites, being thus deprived of
idols, had begun to return to the Lord, and to go up to
Jerusalem to worship, some time before Hezekiah gave them this
invitation.
