Context — Hezekiah Cleanses the Temple
17They began the consecration on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they reached the portico of the LORD. For eight more days they consecrated the house of the LORD itself, finishing on the sixteenth day of the first month.
18Then they went in to King Hezekiah and reported, “We have cleansed the entire house of the LORD, the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the table of the showbread with all its utensils.
19Moreover, we have prepared and consecrated all the articles that King Ahaz in his unfaithfulness cast aside during his reign. They are now in front of the altar of the LORD.”
20Early the next morning King Hezekiah gathered the city officials and went up to the house of the LORD. 21They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And the king commanded the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the LORD.Cross References

2 Chronicles 29:19 Summary
[This verse shows how the priests and King Hezekiah were working to restore the temple and the worship of the Lord after a time of unfaithfulness. They took the articles that King Ahaz had thrown away and made them holy again, so they could be used in the right way, as seen in 2 Chronicles 29:18. This is like when we need to clean up our lives and make things right with God, as encouraged in 1 John 1:9. By doing this, we can show our love and commitment to the Lord, just like the Israelites did when they restored the temple.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What was King Ahaz's unfaithfulness that is mentioned in 2 Chronicles 29:19?
King Ahaz's unfaithfulness refers to his idolatrous practices and his removal of the sacred articles from the temple, as seen in 2 Chronicles 28:2-4, where he made molten images for the Baals and burned incense in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom.
Why was it important to consecrate the articles that King Ahaz had cast aside?
Consecrating these articles was crucial because they were used in the worship of the Lord, and their purification and restoration symbolized the people's return to faithful worship, as emphasized in Leviticus 10:10, where the distinction between the holy and the common is highlighted.
What is the significance of placing the consecrated articles in front of the altar of the Lord?
By placing the consecrated articles in front of the altar, the priests demonstrated their commitment to restoring the proper order of worship, as instructed in Exodus 40:17-19, where Moses sets up the tabernacle and its furnishings according to God's command.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of restoration in 2 Chronicles?
This verse is part of the larger narrative of King Hezekiah's efforts to restore the temple and the worship of the Lord, as seen in 2 Chronicles 29-31, where Hezekiah leads the people in a thorough cleansing and rededication of the temple and its services, mirroring the restoration theme found in Ezekiel 37:23-28.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways in which I may have 'cast aside' my devotion to the Lord, and how can I restore it?
- How can I, like King Hezekiah, take initiative in restoring the purity and integrity of my worship and walk with God?
- What are some 'articles' or practices in my life that need to be consecrated and dedicated to the Lord's service?
- In what ways can I demonstrate my commitment to the Lord, like the priests did by placing the consecrated articles in front of the altar?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 29:19
Moreover, all the vessels which King Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression,.... Not that he threw them away, being valuable, as made of gold and silver; but, as Kimchi interprets it,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 29:19
Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 29:19
2 Chronicles 29:19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they [are] before the altar of the LORD.Ver. 19. Did cast away in his transgression.] Glorying, likely, in his sacrilege, and success there upon; as did Dionysius when he had spoiled a temple. Finding the winds favourable in his navigation, Lo, said he, how the gods approve of sacrilege! But he should have remembered that Nondum omnium dictum sol occiderat, his sin would shortly find him out.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 29:19
(19) Cast away.—The same word as “cast off” in 2 Chronicles 11:14. The vessels so treated were the brazer altar, the brazen sea, and the lavers on the stands (2 Kings 16:14; 2 Kings 16:17). In his transgression.—Unfaithfulness, or apostasy.Have we prepared.—Ordered aright, put to rights. (H ̓ ?̓ηkannϋ, i.e., hγkξnτnϋ, 1 Chronicles 29:16 here only.) The altar of the Lord.—The brazen altar in the; court.
