2 Chronicles 29:10

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;

14 of the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.

2 Chronicles 29:10-11

Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the Lord God—Convinced of the sin and bitter fruits of idolatry, Hezekiah intended to reverse the policy of his father, and to restore, in all its ancient purity and glory, the worship of the true God. His commencement of this resolution at the beginning of his reign attests his sincere piety. It also proves the strength of his conviction that righteousness exalteth a nation; for, instead of waiting till his throne was consolidated, he devised measures of national reformation at the beginning of his reign and vigorously faced all the difficulties which, in such a course, he had to encounter, after the people's habits had so long been moulded to idolatry. His intentions were first disclosed to this meeting of the priests and Levites—for the agency of these officials was to be employed in carrying them into effect.
