    2 Chronicles 29 Summary

    Hezekiah becomes king and immediately reopens and cleanses the Temple that his father Ahaz had shut. The Levites consecrate themselves and spend sixteen days purifying the Temple. Hezekiah then restores sacrificial worship with singing and instruments.

    This chapter records one of the great revivals in Israel's history. Hezekiah's first priority as king was worship—not politics, military, or economics. His urgency ('My sons, be not now negligent') sets the tone for a reign that transforms Judah.
