2 Chronicles 29:36 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 29:36

And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people
To see things go on so well, which foreboded good unto them: and particularly that God had prepared the people;
disposed and directed their hearts in such a manner as to yield such a cheerful obedience to the will of God, and show such a hearty regard to his worship and service, and the restoration of it: for the thing was done suddenly;
whereby it the more appeared that they were under a divine influence, which so quickly and powerfully wrought upon them to engage in this work, and needed not arguments and persuasions to bring them to it.

2 Chronicles 29:36 In-Context

34 There were not enough priests for the work of cutting up all the burned offerings; so their brothers the Levites gave them help till the work was done and the priests had made themselves holy: for the Levites were more upright in heart to make themselves holy than the priests.

35 And there was a great amount of burned offerings, with the fat of the peace-offerings and the drink offerings for every burned offering. So the work of the Lord's house was put in order.

36 And Hezekiah and all the people were full of joy, because God had made the people ready: for the thing was done suddenly.
