2 Chronicles 29:4
Compare all
2 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.

Hezekiah Cleanses the Temple

3 In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he aopened the doors of the house of the Lord and repaired them.  
4 Then he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them in the East Square,
5 and said to them: “Hear me, Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, asanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and carry out the rubbish from the holy place.  
6 For our fathers have trespassed and done evil in the eyes of the Lord our God; they have forsaken Him, have aturned their faces away from the1 dwelling place of the Lord, and turned their backs on Him.  
7 aThey have also shut up the doors of the vestibule, 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 awrath of the Lord fell upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He has bgiven them up to trouble, to desolation, and to cjeering, as you see with your deyes.  
9 For indeed, because of this aour fathers have fallen by the sword; and our sons, our daughters, and our wives are in captivity.  
10 “Now it is in my heart to make aa covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that His fierce wrath may turn away from us.  
11 My sons, do not be negligent now, for the Lord has achosen you to stand before Him, to serve Him, and that you should minister to Him and burn incense.”  
12 Then these Levites arose: aMahath the son of Amasai and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the bKohathites; of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah and Eden the son of Joah;  
13 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;

2 Chronicles 29:4-5

the east street—the court of the priests, which fronted the eastern gate of the temple. Assembling the priests and Levites there, he enjoined them to set about the immediate purification of the temple. It does not appear that the order referred to the removal of idols, for objects of idolatrous homage could scarcely have been put there, seeing the doors had been shut up [II Chronicles 29:3]; but in its forsaken and desolate state the temple and its courts had been polluted by every kind of impurity.
