1Hezekiah started his reign at 25, and he ruled for 29 years in Jerusalem. His mom's name was Abijah, daughter of Zechariah.

2He was straight-up doing what was right in God's eyes, just like his dad David did.

3In his first year, first month, he opened the Lord's house doors and got them fixed up.

4He gathered the priests and Levites, bringing them to the east street, no cap.

5He said, "Yo Levites, time to get right and clean up the Lord's house, get rid of all the bad vibes."

6Our ancestors messed up big time, did some sus stuff in God's sight, and turned their backs on Him.

7They locked up the porch doors, turned off the lamps, and didn’t even burn incense or offer sacrifices to the God of Israel.

8That’s why God was mad at Judah and Jerusalem, giving them some serious trouble, like you can see for yourself.

9For real, our ancestors fell by the sword, and our fam—sons, daughters, wives—are all in captivity because of this.

10I'm feeling it in my heart to make a deal with the Lord God of Israel, so His anger can chill out on us.

11Yo fam, don’t sleep on this: the Lord picked you to vibe with Him, serve Him, and bring that incense game strong.

12Then the Levites popped up, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah from the Kohath crew: and from Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: also from the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:

13And from Elizaphan’s squad; Shimri and Jeiel: and from Asaph’s crew; Zechariah and Mattaniah:

14And from Heman’s fam; Jehiel and Shimei: and from Jeduthun’s squad; Shemaiah and Uzziel.

15They gathered the squad, got their vibes right, and showed up, just like the king said, to cleanse the Lord’s house.

16The priests hit up the inner part of the Lord's house to clean it out, bringing all the messy stuff they found in the temple to the court. The Levites took it to toss it out in the Kidron brook.

17They started on day one of the first month to cleanse, and on the eighth day, they hit the porch of the Lord: they sanctified the house in eight days; by the sixteenth day, they were done.

18Then they went to King Hezekiah and said, "We’ve cleaned up the whole house of the Lord, the burnt offering altar, and all the stuff with it, plus the showbread table and its gear."

19Plus, all the stuff that King Ahaz ditched during his wild times, we’ve prepped and cleaned up, and now it’s all ready at the Lord's altar.

20Then Hezekiah woke up early, gathered the city leaders, and rolled up to the house of the Lord.

21They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven goats for a sin offering, all for the kingdom and Judah. He told the priests, Aaron's fam, to pop off and offer them on the Lord's altar.

22They took out the bulls, the priests caught the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar; same with the rams and lambs. Blood went everywhere on the altar, no cap.

23They brought the goats for the sin offering in front of the king and the squad; they laid their hands on them, vibes.

24The priests took them out, made things right with their blood on the altar, atoning for all Israel 'cause the king said to do burnt and sin offerings for everyone.

25He set the Levites up in the Lord's house with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, just like David, Gad the seer, and Nathan the prophet said. Lit command from the Lord through His peeps.

26The Levites were vibin' with David's instruments, and the priests had the trumpets, straight fire.

27Hezekiah told them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When that popped off, the Lord's song started too, with trumpets and David's instruments.

28Everyone was worshipping, the singers were singing, and the trumpeters were blasting; all this went down until the burnt offering was done, periodt.

29When they wrapped up the offerings, the king and everyone with him bowed down and worshipped, fr.

30Plus, Hezekiah and the princes told the Levites to sing praise to the Lord using David's words and Asaph the seer’s. They sang with joy, bowed their heads, and worshipped, goated vibes.

31Hezekiah was like, "Y'all have leveled up for the Lord, so come through with those sacrifices and thank you vibes for the house of the Lord." The crew brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; everyone who was feeling it brought their fire offerings.

32The squad brought mad offerings: 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 lambs—straight fire for the Lord.

33And there were 600 oxen and 3,000 sheep ready to go.

34But there weren't enough priests to handle all the burnt offerings, so the Levites stepped in to help until the job was done, since they had more rizz to get holy than the priests.

35The burnt offerings were lit, with all the good stuff from the peace offerings and drink offerings for every burnt offering. The service at the Lord's house was on point.

36Hezekiah was vibing, and all the people were hyped because God set them up right—everything popped off real quick.

1Hezekiah 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.

2And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done.

3He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.

4And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,

5And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.

6For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord, and turned their backs.

7Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.

8Wherefore the wrath of the Lord was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

9For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

10Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.

11My sons, be not now negligent: for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.

12Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:

13And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:

14And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.

15And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the Lord, to cleanse the house of the Lord.

16And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the Lord into the court of the house of the Lord. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.

17Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the Lord: so they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.

18Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the Lord, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.

19Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.

20Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.

21And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the Lord.

22So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.

23And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:

24And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.

25And he set the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the Lord by his prophets.

26And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

27And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.

28And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

29And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.

30Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the Lord with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.

31Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the Lord, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.

32And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the Lord.

33And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

34But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

35And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the Lord was set in order.

36And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
