2 Chronicles 29:20 Meaning and Commentary

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 elders of the people, the chief magistrates in Jerusalem: and went up to the house of the Lord;
the temple, to worship there.

2 Chronicles 29:20 In-Context

18 Then they went in to King Hezekiah and said, "We have cleansed the whole house of the LORD , the altar of burnt offering with all of its utensils, and the table of showbread with all of its utensils.
19 "Moreover, all the utensils which King Ahaz had discarded during his reign in his unfaithfulness, we have prepared and consecrated; and behold, they are before the altar of the LORD ."
20 Then King Hezekiah arose early and assembled the princes of the city and went up to the house of the LORD .
21 They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs and seven male goats for a sin offering for the kingdom, the sanctuary, and Judah. And he ordered the priests, the sons of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the LORD .
22 So they slaughtered the bulls, and the priests took the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They also slaughtered the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar; they slaughtered the lambs also and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
