1
Hezekiah
became
king
when he was twenty-five
years
old;
and he reigned
twenty-nine
years
in Jerusalem.
And his mother's
name
was Abijah,
the daughter
of Zechariah.
2
He did
right
in the sight
of the LORD,
according to all
that his father
David
had done.
3
In the first
year
of his reign,
in the first
month,
he opened
the doors
of the house
of the LORD
and repaired
them.
4
He brought
in the priests
and the Levites
and gathered
them into the square
on the east.
5
Then he said
to them, "Listen
to me, O Levites.
Consecrate
yourselves now,
and consecrate
the house
of the LORD,
the God
of your fathers,
and carry
the uncleanness
out from the holy
place.
6
"For our fathers
have been unfaithful
and have done
evil
in the sight
of the LORD
our God,
and have forsaken
Him and turned
their faces
away
from the dwelling place
of the LORD
,
and have turned
their backs.
7
"They have also
shut
the doors
of the porch
and put
out the lamps,
and have not burned
incense
or offered
burnt offerings
in the holy
place to the God
of Israel.
8
"Therefore the wrath
of the LORD
was against
Judah
and Jerusalem,
and He has made
them an object of terror,
of horror,
and of hissing,
as you see
with your own eyes.
9
"For behold,
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 my heart
to make
a covenant
with the LORD
God
of Israel,
that His burning
anger
may turn away
from us.
11
"My sons,
do not be negligent
now,
for the LORD
has chosen
you to stand
before
Him, to minister
to Him, and to be His ministers
and burn incense."
12
Then the Levites
arose:
Mahath,
the son
of Amasai
and Joel
the son
of Azariah,
from the sons
of the Kohathites;
and
from the sons
of Merari,
Kish
the son
of Abdi
and Azariah
the son
of Jehallelel;
and from the Gershonites,
Joah
the son
of Zimmah
and Eden
the son
of
Joah
;
13
and from the sons
of Elizaphan,
Shimri
and Jeiel;
and from the sons
of Asaph,
Zechariah
and Mattaniah;
14
and from the sons
of Heman,
Jehiel
and Shimei;
and from the sons
of Jeduthun,
Shemaiah
and Uzziel.
15
They assembled
their brothers,
consecrated
themselves, and went
in to cleanse
the house
of the LORD,
according to the commandment
of the king
by the words
of the LORD.
16
So the priests
went
in to the inner part
of the house
of the LORD
to cleanse
it, and every
unclean thing
which
they found
in the temple
of the LORD
they brought
out to the court
of the house
of the LORD
.
Then the Levites
received
it to carry
out to the Kidron
valley.
17
Now they began
the consecration
on the first
day
of the first
month,
and on the eighth
day
of the month
they entered
the porch
of the LORD
.
Then they consecrated
the house
of the LORD
in eight
days,
and finished
on the sixteenth
day
of the first
month.
18
Then they went
in to King
Hezekiah
and said,
"We have cleansed
the whole
house
of the LORD,
the altar
of burnt offering
with all
of its utensils,
and the table
of showbread
with all
of its utensils.
19
"Moreover, all
the utensils
which
King
Ahaz
had discarded
during his reign
in his unfaithfulness,
we have prepared
and consecrated;
and behold,
they are before
the altar
of the LORD."
20
Then King
Hezekiah
arose early
and assembled
the princes
of the city
and went
up to the house
of the LORD.
21
They brought
seven
bulls,
seven
rams,
seven
lambs
and
seven
male
goats
for a sin offering
for the kingdom,
the sanctuary,
and Judah.
And he ordered
the priests,
the sons
of Aaron,
to offer
them on the altar
of the LORD.
22
So
they slaughtered
the bulls,
and the priests
took
the blood
and sprinkled
it
on the altar.
They also slaughtered
the rams
and sprinkled
the blood
on the altar;
they slaughtered
the lambs
also
and sprinkled
the blood
on the altar.
23
Then they brought
the male goats
of the sin offering
before
the king
and the assembly,
and they laid
their hands
on them.
24
The priests
slaughtered
them and purged
the altar
with their blood
to atone
for all
Israel,
for the king
ordered
the burnt offering
and the sin offering
for all
Israel.
25
He then stationed
the Levites
in the house
of the LORD
with cymbals,
with harps
and with lyres,
according to the command
of David
and of Gad
the king's
seer,
and of Nathan
the prophet;
for the command
was from the LORD
through
His prophets.
26
The Levites
stood
with the musical instruments
of David,
and the priests
with the trumpets.
27
Then Hezekiah
gave the order
to offer
the burnt
offering
on the altar.
When
the burnt
offering
began,
the song
to the LORD
also began
with the trumpets,
accompanied by the instruments
of David,
king
of Israel.
28
While the whole
assembly
worshiped,
the singers
also sang
and the trumpets
sounded;
all
this continued until
the burnt offering
was finished.
29
Now at the completion
of the burnt offerings,
the king
and all
who were present
with him bowed down
and worshiped.
30
Moreover, King
Hezekiah
and the officials
ordered
the Levites
to sing
praises
to the LORD
with the words
of David
and Asaph
the seer.
So they sang
praises
with joy,
and bowed down
and worshiped.
31
Then Hezekiah
said,
"Now
that you have consecrated
yourselves
to the LORD,
come near
and bring
sacrifices
and thank
offerings
to the house
of the LORD."
And the assembly
brought
sacrifices
and thank
offerings
,
and all
those who were willing
brought
burnt
offerings
.
32
The number
of the burnt
offerings
which
the assembly
brought
was 70
bulls,
100
rams,
and 200
lambs;
all
these
were for a burnt offering
to the LORD.
33
The consecrated things
were 600
bulls
and 3,000
sheep.
34
But the priests
were too few,
so that they were unable
to skin
all
the burnt offerings;
therefore their brothers
the Levites
helped
them until
the work
was completed
and until
the other priests
had consecrated
themselves. For
the Levites
were more
conscientious
to consecrate
themselves than
the priests.
35
There were also
many
burnt
offerings
with the fat
of the peace
offerings
and with the libations
for the
burnt
offerings
.
Thus the service
of the house
of the LORD
was established
again.
36
Then Hezekiah
and all
the people
rejoiced
over
what God
had prepared
for
the people
,
because
the thing
came
about suddenly.
