Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 30:23

"And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept [other] seven days with gladness." — 2 Chronicles 30:23 (ASV)

Took counsel. — Determined, the result of taking counsel (2 Chronicles 30:2).

To keep. — Literally, to do or make.

Other seven days. — As a prolongation of the festivities (Compare to 2 Chronicles 7:9).

With gladness. — Simhâh, an adverbial accusative. But some Hebrew manuscripts express the with, as in 2 Chronicles 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.
