Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem His mother's name was Abijah[a] the daughter of Zechariah 2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done Hezekiah Cleanses the Temple 3 In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord and repaired them 4 He brought in the priests and the Levites and assembled them in the square on the east 5 and said to them, “Hear me, Levites! Now consecrate yourselves, and consecrate the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filth[b] from the Holy Place 6 For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done what was evil in the sight of the Lord our God They have forsaken him and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord and turned their backs 7 They also shut the doors of the vestibule and put out the lamps and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the Holy Place to the God of Israel 8 Therefore the wrath of the Lord came on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has made them an object of horror, of astonishment, and of hissing, as you see with your own eyes 9 For behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this 10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the Lord, the God of Israel, in order that his fierce anger may turn away from us 11 My sons, do not now be negligent, for the Lord has chosen you to stand in his presence, to minister to him and to be his ministers and make offerings to him ” 12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah; 13 and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah; 14 and of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel 15 They gathered their brothers and consecrated themselves and went in as the king had commanded, by the words of the Lord, to cleanse the house of the Lord 16 The priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord to cleanse it, and they brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the Lord into the court of the house of the Lord And the Levites took it and carried it out to the brook Kidron 17 They began to consecrate on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the vestibule of the Lord Then for eight days they consecrated the house of the Lord, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished 18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king and said, “We have cleansed all the house of the Lord, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the table for the showbread and all its utensils 19 All the utensils that King Ahaz discarded in his reign when he was faithless, we have made ready and consecrated, and behold, they are before the altar of the Lord ” Hezekiah Restores Temple Worship 20 Then Hezekiah the king rose early and gathered the officials of the city and went up to the house of the Lord 21 And they brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah And he commanded the priests, the sons of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord 22 So they slaughtered the bulls, and the priests received the blood and threw it against the altar And they slaughtered the rams, and their blood was thrown against the altar And they slaughtered the lambs, and their blood was thrown against the altar 23 Then the goats for the sin offering were brought to the king and the assembly, and they laid their hands on them, 24 and the priests slaughtered them and made a sin offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel For the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel 25 And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, harps, and lyres, according to the commandment of David and of Gad the king's seer and of Nathan the prophet, for the commandment was from the Lord through his prophets 26 The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets 27 Then Hezekiah commanded that the burnt offering be offered on the altar And when the burnt offering began, the song to the Lord began also, and the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel 28 The whole assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded All
