2 Chronicles 29:4 In-Context

2 He did what was right from ADONAI's perspective, following the example of everything David his ancestor had done.

3 In the first month of the first year of his reign, he reopened the doors of the house of ADONAI and repaired them.

4 Then he brought in the cohanim and L'vi'im, assembled them in the open space to the east,

5 and said to them, "Listen to me, L'vi'im: consecrate yourselves now, consecrate the house of ADONAI the God of your ancestors, and remove the filth from the Holy Place.

6 For our ancestors acted treacherously, they did what is evil from the perspective of ADONAI our God, they abandoned him, they turned their faces away from where ADONAI lives and turned their backs on him.
