Context of 2 Chronicles 29:7
5And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of Yhwh 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 Yhwh our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Yhwh, and turned their backs. Also 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 Yhwh 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.
