SEV Biblia, Chapter 30:22
Y Ezequías habló al corazón de todos los levitas que tenían buena inteligencia para servir al SEÑOR. Y comieron los sacrificios de la fiesta por siete días, ofreciendo sacrificios pacíficos, y dando gracias al SEÑOR Dios de sus padres.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:22
Verse 22. Spake comfortably unto all the Levites] On such occasions the priests and Levites had great fatigue, and suffered many privations; and therefore had need of that encouragement which this prudent and pious king gave. It is a fine and expressive character given of these men, "They taught the good knowledge of God to the people." This is the great work, or should be so, of every Christian minister. They should convey that knowledge of God to the people by which they may be saved; that is, the good knowledge of the Lord.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. And Hezekiah spake comfortably to all the Levites , etc.] Or “to the heart” of them, such things as were very encouraging to them to go on in the work and worship of God, commending their singing, exhorting them to diligence in instructing the people, promising them his favour and protection: even those that taught the good knowledge of the Lord ; who instructed the people well in his word, worship, and ordinances; though some restrain this to their skill in singing the praises of God, both vocally and instrumentally, and their abilities and diligence in teaching others: and they did eat throughout the feast : or did eat the feast; that is, the sacrifices of it; not the Levites only, but the king, and all the congregation: offering peace offerings ; part of which belonged to the Lord, another part to the priests, and a third to the offerers, on which they feasted with their friends; and this they did throughout all the seven days of the feast: and making confession to the Lord God of their fathers ; confessing their sins of omission and commission they had been guilty of; owning the goodness, grace, and mercy of God towards them; blessing and praising his name for the restoration of his worship and ordinances among them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-27 - Many prayers were put up to God with the peace-offerings. In thes Israel looked to God as the God of their fathers, a God in covenan with them. There was also abundance of good preaching. The Levites rea and explained the Scriptures. Faith cometh by hearing, and tru religion preaching has abounded. They sang psalms every day: praisin God should be much of our work in religious assemblies. Having kept the seven days of the feast in this religious manner, they had so muc comfort in it, that they kept other seven days also. This they did with gladness. Holy duties should be done with holy gladness. And when sinners humble themselves before the Lord, they may expect gladness in his ordinances. Those who taste this happiness will not soon grow wear of it, but will be glad to prolong their enjoyment __________________________________________________________________
