    12  They sanctify themselves, and cleanse the house of God
    20  Hezekiah offers solemn sacrifices, wherein the Levites are

      Of several of Hezekiah's predecessors it had been said that
      they did that which was right, but not like David, that is,

    VERSE 3 
     - A.M. 3278.  B.C. 726.  He in the first.

    VERSE 7
       Those, says Matthew Henry, who turn their backs upon God's
      ordinances, may truly be said to forsake God himself.  The
      lamps were not lighted, and incense was not burnt:  there are
      still such neglects as these, and they are no less culpable,
      if the Word be not duly read and opened, answering to the
      lighting of the lamps, and if prayers and praises be not duly
      offered up, which was signified by the burning of incense.
    
       * :3; 28:24 Le 24:2-8 2Ki 16:17,18 Mal 1:10

       * 2Ch 24:18; 34:24,25; 36:14-16 De 28:15-20
    - he hath delivered.
      It is probable Hezekiah refers to that dreadful defeat by the
      Israelites, in which one hundred and twenty thousand were
      slain, and two hundred thousand taken prisoners:  see ch.
      6 28:6-8.
    
    - trouble.  Heb. commotion.
       * De 28:25
    - to astonishment.
       * Le 26:32 De 28:59 1Ki 9:8 Jer 18:15,16; 19:8; 25:9,18; 29:18

       * 2Ch 6:7,8

      To renew that covenant under which the whole people were
      constantly considered, and of which circumcision was the sign,
      and the spirit of which was, "I will be your God, ye shall be
      my people."
    
       * 2Ch 15:12,13; 23:16; 34:30-32 Ezr 10:3 Ne 9:38; 10:1-39 Jer 34:15,18

       * 1Ch 23:28
    
    
    VERSE 16 
     - the priests.
      The priests and Levites cleansed first the courts both of the
      priests and of the people.  On this labor they spent eight
      days.  Then they cleansed the interior of the temple; but, as
      the Levites had no right to enter the temple, the priests
      carried all the dirt and rubbish to the porch, whence they
      were collected by the Levites, carried away, and cast into the
      brook Kidron:  in this work, eight more days were occupied;
      and thus the temple was purified in sixteen days.
    
    - the inner part.

       * :7; 3:4 1Ki 6:3 1Ch 28:11

       * Ex 12:2-8

    VERSE 19 
     - all the vessels.
       * 2Ch 28:24
    - did cast away.
      Or, as the LXX., Vulgate, and Targum read, "did pollute,"
      {hizneeach,} he rendered them so abominable that they were
      rejected with abhorrence.
    
    
    VERSE 20 
     - rose.
       * Ge 22:3 Ex 24:4 Jos 6:12 Jer 25:4
    
    
    VERSE 21 
     - they brought.
      The law only required one bullock for the sins of the high
      priest, another for the sins of the people, and one he-goat
      for the sins of the prince:  but Hezekiah offered many more,
      and the reason appears sufficiently evident:  the law only
      speaks of the sins of ignorance, but here there were sins of
      every dye, idolatry, apostasy from the Divine worship,
      profanation of the temple, etc., etc.  The sin offerings, we
      are informed, were offered, first, for the Kingdom, for the
      transgressions of the king and his family; secondly, for the
      sanctuary, which had been defiled and polluted; and for the
      priests, who had been profane, negligent, and unholy; and
      finally, for Judah, for the whole mass of the people, who had
      been led away into every kind of abomination by the above
      examples.
    
    - seven.

    - sacrifices.
       * Le 1:1-3:17
    - thank.
       * Le 7:12
    - and as many, etc.
      As the burnt offerings were wholly consumed on the altar, the
      offering of them evinced greater zeal and liberality than the
      oblation of peace offerings, the greater part of which was
      eaten by the officer and his friends.
    
       * Le 1:3; 23:38 Ezr 1:4
    
    
    VERSE 32 
     - the number.
      Comparing the sacrifices offered on this occasion with those
      of Solomon at the dedication of the temple, we may form some
      idea of the decrease of the prosperity and riches of Judah, or
      of the decline of the general spirit of piety.
    
       * 1Ki 3:4; 8:63 1Ch 29:21 Ezr 6:17
    
    
    VERSE 33

      offerings and thank offerings.
    
       * :31
    
    
    VERSE 34 
     - the priests.
      Peace offerings, and such like, the Levites might flay and
      dress; but the whole burnt offerings could only be touched by
      the priests, except in a case of necessity, such as the
      present.
    
       * :5; 30:16,17
    - their brethren.
       * 2Ch 35:11 Nu 8:15,19; 18:3,6,7

    VERSE 36 
     - Hezekiah rejoiced.
      Both Hezekiah and the people rejoiced, that God had prepared
      the hearts of the people to bring about so great and glorious
      a reformation in so short a time.  This good king's example
      and influence were here, as in many other cases, under God,
      the grand spring of all those mighty movements.
    
       * 1Ch 29:9,17 Ezr 6:22 1Th 3:8,9
    - God.
       * 2Ch 30:12 1Ch 29:18 Ps 10:17 Pr 16:1
