And the priests killed them, etc.] The seven he goats; for of the killing of the bullocks, rams, and lambs, mention is made before, (<142902>2 Chronicles 29:2) and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; typical of the reconciliation and atonement made for the whole spiritual Israel of God by the sacrifice of Christ: for the king commanded that the burnt offering, and the sin offering, should be made for all Israel; not only for the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and for as many of the rest of the tribes as were come over to them, and dwelt among them; but even for the ten tribes also, sadly guilty of idolatry, and for whose reformation and good this pious prince was concerned, (see <143001>2 Chronicles 30:1).
