2 Chronicles 29:1-5 ▼

1 Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah daughter of Zechariah.

2 He did what was right in the LORD’s sight just as his ancestor David had done.

3 In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the LORD’s temple and repaired them.

4 Then he brought in the priests and Levites and gathered them in the eastern public square.

5 He said to them, “Hear me, Levites. Consecrate yourselves now and consecrate the temple of the LORD, the God of your ancestors. Remove everything impure from the holy place.
