2 Chronicles 30 Commentary

by Brad Boyles

Hezekiah wanted to do the right thing. He believed that Israel and Judah should come back together in order to celebrate the Passover. He knew God’s promises extended to all 12 tribes which were now split into two nations. Amazingly, invitations went out to all of Israel despite 200+ years of backsliding and pagan influence. This speaks to the fact that God had provided a faithful remnant.

Judah was guilty of backsliding as well. They had become ignorant to God’s truth throughout their previous leadership under Ahaz. So, this decision by Hezekiah set the tone for spiritual revival. Though both nations were steeped with poor leaders, they were hungry to be taught the truth of the Lord. This was where the Levites would step up to fulfill their God-given responsibilities. They would teach the people about their history and remind them of the amazing covenant from God.

“Then Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who showed good insight in the things of the LORD. So they ate for the appointed seven days, sacrificing peace offerings and giving thanks to the LORD God of their fathers.”

2 Chronicles 30:22 NASB

Sometimes we just need to be reminded of the promises of God through good and faithful teaching. In fact, most of us would agree that going to church on Sunday to gather with others and hear solid Biblical teaching sets the stage for spiritual revival.
