Matthew Henry's Complete Bible Commentary

2 Chronicles 31

We have here a further account of that blessed reformation of which Hezekiah was a glorious instrument, and of the happy advances he made in it. I. All the remnants of idolatry were destroyed and abolished, 2 Chronicles 31:1. II. The priests and Levites were set to work again, every man in his place, 2 Chronicles 31:2. III. Care was taken for their maintenance. 1. The royal bounty to the clergy, and for the support of the temple service, was duly paid, 2 Chronicles 31:3. 2. Orders were given for the raising of the people’s quota, 2 Chronicles 31:4. 3. The people, thereupon, brought in their dues abundantly, 2 Chronicles 31:5-31:10. 4. Commissioners were appointed for the due distribution of what was brought in, 2 Chronicles 31:11-31:19. Lastly, Here is the general praise of Hezekiah’s sincerity in all his undertakings, 2 Chronicles 31:20, 31:21. MHBCC 399.1
