2 Chronicles 29:1-5 ▼

1 Hezekiah began his reign at the age of 25. He reigned for 29 years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah, Zechariah's daughter.

2 He practiced what the LORD considered to be right, following all of the examples set by his ancestor David.

3 In the first month of the first year of his reign he repaired and reopened the doors of the LORD's Temple.

4 Then he brought in the priests and descendants of Levi, gathered them into the square in the eastern part of the Temple,

5 and told them, |Pay attention to me, you descendants of Levi! Consecrate yourselves and the Temple of the LORD God of your ancestors by taking out from the Holy Place whatever is unclean.
