2 Chronicles 29:24

Compare all

22 So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood and ^asprinkled it on the altar. Likewise they killed the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They also killed the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.

23 Then they brought out the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, and they laid their ^ahands on them.

24 And the priests killed them; and they presented their blood on the altar as a sin offering ^ato make an atonement for all Israel, for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering be made for all Israel.

25 ^aAnd he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, ^baccording to the commandment of David, of ^cGad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet; ^dfor thus was the commandment of the Lord by His prophets.

26 The Levites stood with the instruments ^aof David, and the priests with ^bthe trumpets.

27 Then Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. And when the burnt offering began, ^athe song of the Lord also began, with the trumpets and with the instruments of David king of Israel.

28 So all the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

2 Chronicles 29:24

All lsrael - Hezekiah aimed at reuniting once more the whole people of Israel, if not into a single state, yet, at any rate, into a single religious communion. The northern kingdom was in a condition approaching to anarchy. The end was evidently approaching. Hoshea, the king contemporary with Hezekiah II Kings 18:1, ruled, not as an independent monarch, but as an Assyrian feudatory II Kings 17:3. Under these circumstances Hezekiah designed to invite the revolted tribes to return, if not to their old temporal, at least to their old spiritual, allegiance II Chronicles 30:5-10. In order, therefore, to prepare the way for this return, he included "all Israel" in the expiatory sacrifice, by which he prefaced his restoration of the old worship.
