Notes

2 Chronicles 30:26

No celebration like this had happened since Solomon's time. Hezekiah set up conditions for covenant faithfulness like those during David and Solomon's era.

2 Chronicles 30:1–27

This story of Hezekiah's Passover celebration shows the Chronicler's focus on Israel's unity, the people's spiritual readiness, and the success of following Solomon's restoration plan at the temple dedication (2 Chronicles 7:14).
