2 Chronicles 31:20-21 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and worked that which was good and right and truth before the LORD his God.… From Hezekiah's conduet, and from God's approval of it, we learn — I. THAT TO ESTABLISH RELIGION IN A LAND IS THE DUTY OF EVERY RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT. II. THAT TO EMPLOY THE POWER AND APPLIANCES OF THE STATE IN ORDER TO EXTEND THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, IS BENEFICIAL BOTH TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND TO THE NATION AT LARGE. (Louis Stenham, M.A.) Parallel Verses KJV: And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the LORD his God. |
