How preachers through history handled this text
7 public-domain excerpts on 2 Chronicles 30, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Hezekiah made Israel as welcome to the passover, as any of his own subjects. Let us yield ourselves unto the Lord. Say not, you will do what you please, but resolve to do what he pleases. We perceive in the carnal mind a stiffness, an obstinacy, an unaptness to compel with God; we have it from our fathers: this must be overcome. Those who, through grace, have turned to God themselves, should do all they can to bring others to him. Numbers will be scorners, but some will be humbled and benefited; perhaps where least expected. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on 2 Chronicles 30:1–12 (Public Domain)
