2 Chronicles 29:2

Hezekiah Reigns in Judah

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.

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.
