1 Hezekiah began to rule as king when he was 25 years old. He ruled for 29 years in Jerusalem. His mother was Abijah, daughter of Zechariah. 2 He did what the LORD considered right, as his ancestor David had done. 3 In the first month of his first year as king, he opened the doors of the LORD's temple and repaired them. 4 He brought the priests and Levites together in the square on the east side [of the temple]. 5 He said to them, |Listen to me, Levites. Perform the ceremonies to make the temple of the LORD God of your ancestors holy. Remove anything that has been corrupted from the holy place. 2 Chronicles 29:1-5, God's Word Translation.
