The beginning of his reign ( Ch2 29:1, Ch2 29:2). Purification and consecration of the temple (vv. 3-36). - Ch2 29:1 and Ch2 29:2. Age of Hezekiah, duration and spirit of his reign, as in Kg2 18:1-3. With Ch2 29:3 the account of the restoration of the Jahve-worship begins. In the first year of his reign, in the first month, Hezekiah caused the temple doors to be opened, and the priests and Levites to assemble, in order that he might rouse them by an energetic address to purify the house of God from all the uncleannesses of idolatry ( Ch2 29:3-11). They, vigorously commencing the work, completed the purification of the temple with its courts and vessels in sixteen days, and reported to the king what had been done ( Ch2 29:12-19); and then the king and the chiefs of the city offered a great sacrifice to consecrate the purified sanctuary, upon which followed burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and thankofferings of the whole assembly (vv. 20-36). 2 Chronicles 29:3
