Synopsis
Excerpt from Hours With the Bible: Or, the Scriptures in the Light of Modern, Discovery and Knowledge, From Manasseh to Zedekiah
I am aware that the revolutionary school of critics depreciate the testimony of Chronicles, as compiled at a later date than Kings, and lay stress on the fact that the Passover of Hezekiah is passed over in silence in the earlier book. But sobroad minded a critic as Bertheau reminds us that this is no ground for surprise, as Kings notices matters concerning the restoration of public worship or its reforms only very slightly. But, he adds, since it admits of no doubt that Hezekiah uprooted idolatry (2 Kings xviii. The great spring feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread must have been celebrated in a way more corresponding to the Law of Moses than hitherto. It is, he continues, probable, that even during the reign of idolatry, festi~ vals were held at the times appointed by the Law for the great Jewish feasts. He, also, calls attention to the fact that the invitation of Hezekiah to the Ten Tribes to attend the Passover was sent while King Hoshea still reigned, and Samaria had not yet fallen; It was a last attempt to bring them back to their God. Bertheau, Die B.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the profound religious and political changes that transformed the kingdom of Judah under the reign of Hezekiah and his son, Manasseh. Through analysis of historical records, religious texts and archaeological discoveries, the book sheds light on a significant period that saw the triumph and resurgence of idolatry and the persecution of adherents to the worship of the God of Israel. The author demonstrates how societal trends and political machinations impacted the spiritual life of the nation, and elucidates the struggle for supremacy between the advocates of monotheism and those who favored the allure of foreign gods. Ultimately, this book highlights the resilience of religious belief in times of adversity and its profound influence on the trajectory of a nation's history.
