4 The plan seemed right both to the king and to the whole assembly.
4 And the thing pleased
4 and the plan seemed right to the king and all the assembly.
4 Under these circumstances, the revised date was approved by both king and people
4 And the matter pleased the king and all the assembly.
4 This plan for keeping the Passover seemed right to the king and all the people.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:4
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:1-12
(Read 2 Chronicles 30:1-12)
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. The rich mercy of God is the great argument by which to enforce repentance; the vilest who submit and yield themselves to the Lord, seek his grace, and give themselves to his service, shall certainly be saved. Oh that messengers were sent forth to carry these glad tidings to every city and every village, through every land!
