2 Chronicles 30:11 Summary
This verse shows us that even when many people are rejecting God, there are always some who will listen and respond to His call. The people from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun who humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem are an example of what it means to turn to God and seek His forgiveness, as seen in 1 John 1:9 and Acts 3:19. By looking at their example, we can learn the importance of humility and repentance in our own lives, and how these qualities can lead us to a deeper relationship with God. As we seek to follow God's commands and obey His word, we can trust that He will be with us and guide us, just as He was with the people of Judah in 2 Chronicles 30:12.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to humble oneself in the context of 2 Chronicles 30:11?
To humble oneself means to recognize one's sin and rebellion against God, and to come before Him in repentance and surrender, as seen in 1 Peter 5:6 and Proverbs 22:4.
Why did some people from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun respond positively to the call to return to the Lord?
The Bible doesn't give a specific reason, but it's likely that they were receptive to the message because they were already seeking God, as encouraged in Deuteronomy 4:29 and Jeremiah 29:13.

This verse shows that even in the midst of widespread rebellion, God can bring about revival and renewal in the hearts of those who humble themselves and seek Him, as seen in 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Psalm 85:6.
What can we learn from the fact that only some people from these tribes responded to the call to return to the Lord?

Preserved they were, if not from the common destruction, yet from the common distraction; for God "will save the humble person."
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:11
(11) Nevertheless divers of Asher.—But some men of Asher.—Besides these from Asher, Manasseh, Zebulun, 2 Chronicles 30:18 mentions others from Ephraim and Issachar. The two and a half tribes of the Trans-Jordan, as well as Naphtali and probably the neighbouring tribe of Dan, had been devastated by Tiglath-pileser; and the couriers went no farther than Zebulun. Part of Asher was contiguous to Zebulun; and the other three tribes mentioned by the chronicler lay south of it, so that the account is self-consistent. Humbled themselves—i.e., repented.
