2 Chronicles 29:20

Then Hezekiah the king rose early
Took the first opportunity to attend the worship of God, and set an example to his people: and gathered the rulers of the city;

the temple, to worship there.

2 Chronicles 29:20 In-Context

18 Then they reported to Hezekiah the king, "We have cleaned up the entire Temple of God, including the Altar of Whole-Burnt-Offering and the Table of the Bread of the Presence with their furnishings.
19 We have also cleaned up and consecrated all the vessels which King Ahaz had gotten rid of during his misrule. Take a look; we have repaired them. They're all there in front of the Altar of God."
20 Then Hezekiah the king went to work: He got all the leaders of the city together and marched to The Temple of God.
21 They brought with them seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven he-goats to sacrifice as an Absolution-Offering for the royal family, for the Sanctuary, and for Judah as a whole; he directed the Aaronite priests to sacrifice them on the Altar of God.
22 The priests butchered the bulls and then took the blood and sprinkled it on the Altar, and then the same with the rams and lambs.
