What Does 2 Chronicles 29:29 Mean When the offerings were completed• The revival under King Hezekiah reached its climax when “the burnt offering began” and continued “until the sacrifice was finished” (2 Chronicles 29:27–28). • Completion signals that every sacrifice required by God’s law had been carried out—nothing left half-done, mirroring the thorough obedience seen in Leviticus 9:22–24 when fire fell after the final act. • This finished work foreshadows the once-for-all sufficiency of Christ’s offering, for “every priest stands daily… but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down” (Hebrews 10:11-14). • Worship flows best after obedience; we do not rush past what God has asked before expecting His presence. the king and all those present with him • Leadership matters. Hezekiah does not delegate devotion; he models it (cf. 1 Chronicles 29:20). • “All those present” includes priests, Levites, and laypeople (2 Chronicles 29:28). True worship unites generations and roles, previewing the church where Christ “has made us a kingdom, priests to His God” (Revelation 1:6). • Corporate solidarity magnifies praise. In Josiah’s day the same pattern appears: “The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant… and all the people joined in” (2 Chronicles 34:29-31). • When leaders humble themselves, people find it easier to follow. bowed down and worshiped • Bowing is the outward sign of inward surrender: “Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker” (Psalm 95:6). • Physical posture reinforces heart posture—humility, reverence, awe. At the dedication of Solomon’s temple “all the Israelites… bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground” (2 Chronicles 7:3). • Worship is more than music; it is the whole person responding to God’s holiness. Jesus affirmed this priority: “true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23-24). • Bowing anticipates the day “at the name of Jesus every knee will bow” (Philippians 2:10), showing that present worship rehearses eternal reality. summary Hezekiah’s congregation completes every offering, the king leads alongside his people, and the entire assembly falls prostrate before God. Obedience opens the door, leadership sets the tone, and humble adoration rises as the fitting response. 2 Chronicles 29:29 captures the heartbeat of genuine revival: finish what God commands, stand together under righteous leadership, and bow low in wholehearted worship. (29) Of offering.--Scil., the burnt offering, as the verb implies.Bowed themselves.--Rather, bowed the knee (kara'). (Isaiah 45:23; 1Kings 19:18.) Verse 29. - Bowed; Hebrew, כָּרְעוּ. Of the force and forcibleness of the verb here employed an idea may be obtained from comparison of Genesis 49:9; Numbers 24:9; Judges 5:27; Judges 7:6; 1 Kings 19:18. Worshipped; Hebrew, יִשְׁתַּחֲווּ. This verb, on the other hand, proclaims the force, not of the posture of the body merely, but rather of the mind, in the rising degrees of respect, reverence, allegiance, and the worship of profound adoration paid to him, who is "God over all, blessed for evermore."
