2 Chronicles 29:36 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 29:36

And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people
To see things go on so well, which foreboded good unto them: and particularly that God had prepared the people;
disposed and directed their hearts in such a manner as to yield such a cheerful obedience to the will of God, and show such a hearty regard to his worship and service, and the restoration of it: for the thing was done suddenly;
whereby it the more appeared that they were under a divine influence, which so quickly and powerfully wrought upon them to engage in this work, and needed not arguments and persuasions to bring them to it.

2 Chronicles 29:36 In-Context

34 But the priests were too few and could not flay all the burnt offerings, so until other priests had sanctified themselves their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished--for the Levites were more upright in heart than the priests in sanctifying themselves.

35 Besides the great number of burnt offerings there was the fat of the peace offerings, and there were the libations for the burnt offerings. Thus the service of the house of the LORD was restored.

36 And Hezeki'ah and all the people rejoiced because of what God had done for the people; for the thing came about suddenly.
