2 Chronicles 29:4 In-Context

2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David had done.

3 In the first year of his rule, in the first month, opening the doors of the Lord's house, he made them strong.

4 And he sent for the priests and the Levites, and got them together in the wide place on the east side,

5 And said to them, Give ear to me, O Levites: now make yourselves holy, and make holy the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and take away everything unclean from the holy place.

6 For our fathers have done evil, sinning in the eyes of the Lord our God, and have given him up, turning away their faces from the house of the Lord, and turning their backs on him.
