In the first month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah opened and repaired the doors of the house of the LORD.
Here is, I. Hezekiah's age when he came to the crown. He was twenty-five years old. Joash, who came to the crown after two bad reigns, was but seven years old; Josiah, who came after two bad reigns, was but eight, which occasioned the delay of the reformation; but Hezekiah had come to years, and so applied himself immediately to it.
Commenting on 2 Chronicles 29:1-11

HE RESTORES RELIGION. (Ch2 29:3-11) in the first year of his reign, in the first month--not the first month after his accession to the throne, but in Nisan, the first month of the sacred year, the season appointed for the celebration of the passover. he opened the doors of the house of the Lord--which had been closed up by his father (Ch2 28:24).
