Context — Hezekiah Celebrates the Passover
23The whole assembly agreed to observe seven more days, so they observed seven days with joy.
24For Hezekiah king of Judah contributed a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for the assembly, and the officials contributed a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep for the assembly, and a great number of priests consecrated themselves.
25Then the whole assembly of Judah rejoiced along with the priests and Levites and the whole assembly that had come from Israel, including the foreigners who had come from Israel and those who lived in Judah.
26So there was great rejoicing in Jerusalem, for nothing like this had happened there since the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel. 27Then the priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard their voice, and their prayer came into His holy dwelling place in heaven.Cross References

2 Chronicles 30:25 Summary
[2 Chronicles 30:25 shows us that when God's people come together in unity and worship, it brings great joy, as seen in the whole assembly of Judah rejoicing together. This verse reminds us that collective worship and unity are important aspects of pleasing God, as noted in Psalm 133:1-3. Just like the Israelites in this verse, we can experience great joy when we gather together to worship God, as seen in Acts 2:42-47, where the early Christian church came together in unity and shared their belongings.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the whole assembly of Judah rejoicing together?
The whole assembly of Judah rejoicing together signifies unity and collective worship, as seen in 2 Chronicles 30:25, which is a key aspect of pleasing God, as noted in Psalm 133:1-3, where it is written that God commands a blessing when believers dwell together in unity.
Who are the foreigners mentioned in 2 Chronicles 30:25?
The foreigners mentioned in 2 Chronicles 30:25 refer to non-Jews who had come from Israel and were living in Judah, similar to the foreigners who joined the Israelites in worshiping God, as seen in Isaiah 56:6-7, where God welcomes foreigners who join themselves to Him.
How does this verse relate to the concept of community in the Bible?
This verse highlights the importance of community in the Bible, as seen in Acts 2:42-47, where the early Christian church came together in unity and shared their belongings, and in Hebrews 10:24-25, where believers are encouraged to gather together to stimulate love and good works.
What can we learn from the example of the whole assembly of Judah rejoicing together?
We can learn the importance of collective worship and unity from the example of the whole assembly of Judah, as it is written in Matthew 18:20, where Jesus says that when two or three gather in His name, He is there among them, and in Romans 15:5-6, where Paul encourages believers to live in harmony with one another.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can rejoice with my fellow believers, just like the whole assembly of Judah did in 2 Chronicles 30:25?
- How can I demonstrate unity and collective worship in my own community, as seen in this verse?
- What are some things that might be hindering unity and collective worship in my church or community, and how can I help address these issues?
- In what ways can I, like the foreigners in 2 Chronicles 30:25, join myself to God's people and participate in their worship and community?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 30:25
And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and Levites,.... The people that were gathered together out of the several cities of Judah, which no doubt was the largest congregation, with whom
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 30:25
And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:25
2 Chronicles 30:25 And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced. Ver. 25. And all the congregation … rejoiced.] This was right; for all God’ s worships were to be celebrated with joy; and joy is a condition of an acceptable service. Sacrifices offered in mourning were an abomination, yea, accursed of God.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:25
(25) And all the congregation.—Three classes of persons took part in the festival—(1) the Judseans, including the priests and Levites; (2) their Israelite guests; (3) the “strangers”—gκrξm—i.e., the proselytes, both those who came from the northern kingdom arid those who dwelt in Judah. The word gκrξm is not the same as gβrξm (2 Chronicles 15:9), with which Lange’s comment confuses it. (Comp. Leviticus 17:12.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:25
Verse 25. The strangers that come out of the land of Israel] That is, the proselytes of the covenant who had embraced Judaism, and had submitted to the rite of circumcision, for none others could be permitted to eat of the passover.
