Summary

In this verse, Hezekiah prays for the people who had come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover, even though they were not ceremonially clean according to the requirements of the Law. Hezekiah acknowledges God's graciousness and mercy in hearing the prayers of those with sincere hearts, regardless of their outward status. This highlights the importance of repentance and genuine worship over strict adherence to rituals. Hezekiah's prayer demonstrates a focus on the spiritual condition of the people rather than their legalistic observance, showing God's compassion towards those who seek Him wholeheartedly.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

the Lord . . . healed the people--We imagine the whole affair to have been the following: In consequence of their transgressions they had cause to fear disease and even death (Lev 15:31). Hezekiah prayed for the nation, which was on the point of being diseased, and might therefore be regarded as sick already [BERTHEAU].
