2 Chronicles 29:3

Verse 3 of 36. The 29th of 36 chapters in 2 Chronicles, in History.

1Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

2He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done.

3In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the LORD’s house and repaired them.

4He brought in the priests and the Levites and gathered them together into the wide place on the east,

5and said to them, “Listen to me, you Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry the filthiness out of the holy place.

6For our fathers were unfaithful, and have done that which was evil in the LORD our God’s sight, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.

7Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.
