2 Chronicles 29:1-11 Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem… The best way to settle a kingdom is to settle the religion of it, to begin reigning with reforming. Hezekiah's reformation went on in a true step and pace, for it began first with the temple and ministry. It is but Christian prudence to cleanse the spring if we would have the stream clear; to look to God's house, and those that should dispense His Word and ordinances if we would have the people brought into conformity with Him. (T. Manton, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah. |
