1 Hezekiah ^abecame king when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was¹ Abijah the daughter of Zechariah.

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.
