2 Chronicles 29:1 In-Context

1 Hezekiah was 25 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother's name was Abijah. She was the daughter of Zechariah.

2 Hezekiah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as King David had done.

3 In the first month of Hezekiah's first year as king, he opened the doors of the LORD's temple. He repaired them.

4 He brought the priests and Levites in. He gathered them together in the open area on the east side of the temple.

5 He said, "Levites, listen to me! Set yourselves apart to the Lord. Set apart the temple of the Lord. He's the God of your people. Remove anything that is 'unclean' from the temple.
