3-11  Hezekiah’s speech to the priests about the Temple

3  in the first year of his reign...  It was like he was just waiting or the chance to get started.

5  sanctify yoursleves, sanctify the house of the Lord your God...

6-7  they have...

             trespassed and done evil in the eyes of the LORD

             forsaken Him

             turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the LORD

             shut up the doors of the vestibule

             put out the lamps 

             not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place

8  therefore the wrath of the LORD fell on Judah...  

10  Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD...  They made a covenant with the LORD to...

11 do not be negligent now for the Lord has chosen you

            to stand before him

            to serve Him

            minister to Him and burn incense

12-19 These Levites cleaned and sanctified the Temple and report to Hezekiah

16  The priests went in to the inner part...and brought out all the debris... "Debris" in
tum'ah= uncleaness, which probably referred to dirt, junk, and Ahaz's idolatries.

17 in eight days...

27 when the burnt offerings began, he song of the LORD began...
27  trumpets and with the instruments of David...

31-36  Assembly brought more offerings than the sanctified priest could do

32-34  70 bulls, 100 rams, 200 lambs for a burnt offering and 600 bulls and 3,000 sheep, but too few priests
34  for the Levites were more diligent in sanctifying themselves than the priests...  A word of caution to church leaders.
35  rejoiced that God had prepared the people, since the events took place so suddenly...

' 19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah ever put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and seek the Lord's favor? And the Lord relented concerning the doom which He had pronounced against them. But we are doing great evil against ourselves."
