2 Chronicles 29:2
1 Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father David had done.
3 In the first month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah opened and repaired the doors of the house of the LORD.
4 Then he brought in the priests and Levites and gathered them in the square on the east side.
