So there was great rejoicing in Jerusalem
The phrase indicates a significant event that brought immense joy to the people of Jerusalem. This rejoicing is tied to the celebration of the Passover, which King Hezekiah reinstated after a period of neglect. The Passover was a pivotal feast in Jewish tradition, commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt. The great rejoicing suggests a spiritual revival and a return to covenant faithfulness. The city of Jerusalem, as the center of Jewish worship and the location of the Temple, was the appropriate setting for such a celebration, emphasizing the importance of communal worship and unity.

for nothing like this had happened there since the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel
This phrase highlights the extraordinary nature of the event by comparing it to the time of Solomon, known for his wisdom and the construction of the First Temple. Solomon's reign was marked by peace and prosperity, and the dedication of the Temple was a high point in Israel's history. The comparison suggests that the Passover celebration under Hezekiah was unparalleled in its grandeur and spiritual significance since that golden age. It underscores Hezekiah's role in restoring proper worship and the people's enthusiastic response. This also reflects a longing for the unity and faithfulness of the united monarchy under David and Solomon, contrasting with the divided kingdom's struggles.

What Does 2 Chronicles 30:26 Mean
So there was great rejoicing in Jerusalem

“Great rejoicing” (2 Chronicles 30:26) captures the unmistakable surge of gladness that followed Hezekiah’s invitation to celebrate Passover (2 Chronicles 30:1, 5). Joy broke out because:

• The people experienced forgiven sin and renewed fellowship with the LORD, paralleling the joy of the returned prodigal (Luke 15:10, 22-24).

• Corporate worship was restored after years of neglect; compare the earlier revival joy under Hezekiah’s father’s reforms (2 Chronicles 29:36).

• The celebration ran an extra seven days by unanimous desire (2 Chronicles 30:23), echoing the jubilant extension of Solomon’s temple dedication (2 Chronicles 7:8-10).

When God’s people obey His Word, the fruit is contagious joy that radiates outward (Psalm 16:11;Acts 8:8).

for nothing like this had happened there

The writer pauses to measure the moment: nothing on this scale had filled Jerusalem for centuries. Distinctives include:

• Nationwide participation—both Judah and many from the remnant of Israel (2 Chronicles 30:11, 18); such unity had been absent since the kingdom split (1 Kings 12:16-20).

• Purity of worship—priests and Levites consecrated themselves fully (2 Chronicles 30:15-17), unlike earlier half-hearted services (2 Chronicles 29:34).

• Comprehensive reform—when the feast ended, worshipers went out to smash idols across the land (2 Chronicles 31:1), proving the seriousness of their repentance (Exodus 23:24).

The chronicler highlights that genuine revival stands out precisely because it contrasts so sharply with spiritual apathy (Hosea 6:1-3).

since the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel

The benchmark is Solomon’s inaugural feast, when Israel was united, the temple was new, and God’s glory filled the house (1 Kings 8:62-66;2 Chronicles 7:1-3). After Solomon:

• The kingdom fractured, and Jeroboam’s golden calves diverted northern worship (1 Kings 12:26-30).

• Idolatry and intermittent reforms produced only flickers of true Passover observance, until Hezekiah gathered the people again “to the place where I have chosen My Name to dwell” (2 Chronicles 6:6;2 Chronicles 30:1).

• By invoking Solomon, the chronicler reminds readers that Hezekiah’s revival reconnected them to the golden era of covenant faithfulness, foreshadowing the perfect reign of the greater Son of David (Isaiah 9:6-7;Matthew 12:42).

summary

2 Chronicles 30:26 records the overflowing joy that filled Jerusalem when Hezekiah re-established a wholehearted, Scripture-driven Passover. The celebration’s scale, unity, and purity surpassed anything since Solomon, proving that when God’s people return to Him in obedience, He restores their fellowship, renews their land, and floods them with joy that no past failure can erase.

(26) For since the time of Solomon . . . there was not the like.--The chronicler himself thus compares this great festival with the twofold Feast of the Dedication of the Temple (2Chronicles 7:1-10). That festival, like this one, had been prolonged seven days, because the Feast of Tabernacles immediately followed upon it; and "there had been no other since the time of Solomon that could compare with this in respect of duration, or abundance of sacrifices, or number of participants, or the joy that distinguished it" (Bertheau).

Verse 26. -Since the time of Solomon. The reference is to Solomon's "Feast of Tabernacles" (2 Chronicles 7:9).
