Chronicles II 30:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 30:7

And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which
trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers
By worshipping the calves, and neglecting the service of God in the temple at Jerusalem; the Targum is,

``which acted deceitfully with the Word of the Lord their God:''

who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see;
some part of the land of Israel being already made desolate by the kings of Assyria, which was very visible.

Chronicles II 30:7 In-Context

5 And they established a decree that a proclamation should go through all Israel, from Bersabee to Dan, that they should come and keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for the multitude had not done it lately according to the scripture.

6 And the posts went with the letters from the king and the princes to all Israel and Juda, according to the command of the king, saying, Children of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraam, and Isaac, and Israel, and bring back them that have escaped those that were left of the hand of the king of Assyria.

7 And be not as your fathers, and your brethren, who revolted from the Lord God of their fathers, and he gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

8 And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers : give glory to the Lord God, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, and he shall turn away fierce anger from you.

9 For when ye turn to the Lord, your brethren and your children shall be pitied before all that have carried them captives, and he will restore to this land: for the Lord our God is merciful and pitiful, and will not turn away his face from you, if we return to him.
