2 Chronicles 29:36 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people In this blessed turn of affairs, and the new face of religion which the kingdom had put on. That God had prepared the people Had changed their hearts by his Almighty Spirit. For it was plain his hand was in it, both because so many of those who, in the last reign, had doted on the idolatrous altars, were now so much in love with God's altar; and because the thing was done suddenly; was brought about in so little time, and with little or no opposition. Those that go about the work of God in faith, and with resolution, will often find there is not that difficulty in it which they had apprehended. Only let magistrates and ministers do their parts toward the reforming of a land, and then let them trust God to do his, and ascribe to him the glory of what is done.
