2 Chronicles 29:4 In-Context

2 He did what was right in the LORD's eyes, just as his ancestor David had done.

3 In the very first year of his rule, during the first month, Hezekiah reopened the doors of the LORD's temple, having repaired them.

4 Then he brought in the priests and Levites and assembled them in the eastern square.

5 "Listen to me, you Levites!" he said. "Make yourselves holy so you can make holy the temple of the LORD God of your ancestors by removing from the sanctuary any impure thing.

6 Our ancestors were unfaithful and did what was evil in the LORD our God's eyes. They abandoned him, they ignored the LORD's dwelling, and they defied him.
