Pulpit Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(23) Took counsel.--Determined, the result of taking counsel (2Chronicles 30:2).To keep.--Literally, to do or make.Other seven days.--As a prolongation of the festivities. (Comp. 2Chronicles 7:9.)With gladness.--Simh?h, an adverbial accusative. But some Hebrew MSS. express the with, as in 2Chronicles 7:10. The chronicler is fond of dwelling upon the joy of the ancient festivals, as though he would suggest greater whole-heartedness and magnificence to the people and princes of his own day.
