@ And
Hezekiah
sent
to all
Israel
and
Judah
, and
wrote
letters
also to
Ephraim
and
Manasseh
, that they should
come
to the
house
of the
LORD
at
Jerusalem
, to
keep
the
passover
unto the
LORD
God
of
Israel
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:2
@ For the
king
had taken
counsel
, and his
princes
, and all the
congregation
in
Jerusalem
, to
keep
the
passover
in the
second
month
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:3
@ For they
could
not
keep
it at that
time
, because the
priests
had not
sanctified
themselves
sufficiently
, neither had the
people
gathered themselves
together
to
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:4
@ And the
thing
pleased
the
king
and all the
congregation
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:5
@ So they
established
a
decree
to make
proclamation
throughout all
Israel
, from
Beersheba
B@ereven to
Dan
, that they should
come
to
keep
the
passover
unto the
LORD
God
of
Israel
at
Jerusalem
: for they had not
done
it of a
long
time in such sort as it was
written
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:6
@ So the
posts
went
with the
letters
from
the
king
and his
princes
throughout all
Israel
and
Judah
, and according to the
commandment
of the
king
,
saying
, Ye
children
of
Israel
, turn
again
unto the
LORD
God
of
Abraham
,
Isaac
, and
Israel
, and he will
return
to the
remnant
of you, that are
escaped
out of the
hand
of the
kings
of
Assyria
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:7
@ And be not ye like your
fathers
, and like your
brethren
, which
trespassed
against the
LORD
God
of their
fathers
, who therefore gave them
up
to
desolation
, as ye
see
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:8
@ Now be ye not
stiffnecked
, as your
fathers
were, but
yield
yourselves
unto the
LORD
, and
enter
into his
sanctuary
, which he hath
sanctified
for
ever
: and
serve
the
LORD
your
God
, that the
fierceness
of his
wrath
may turn
away
from you.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:9
@ For if ye turn
again
unto the
LORD
, your
brethren
and your
children
shall find
compassion
before
them that lead them
captive
, so that they shall come
again
into this
land
: for the
LORD
your
God
is
gracious
and
merciful
, and will not turn
away
his
face
from you, if ye
return
unto him.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:10
@ So the
posts
passed
from
city
to
city
through the
country
of
Ephraim
and
Manasseh
even unto
Zebulun
: but they laughed them to
scorn
, and
mocked
them.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:11
@ Nevertheless
divers
of
Asher
and
Manasseh
and of
Zebulun
humbled
themselves, and
came
to
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:12
@ Also in
Judah
the
hand
of
God
was to
give
them
one
heart
to
do
the
commandment
of the
king
and of the
princes
, by the
word
of the
LORD
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:13
@ And there
assembled
at
Jerusalem
much
people
to
keep
the
feast
of unleavened
bread
in the
second
month
, a
very
great
congregation
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:14
@ And they
arose
and took
away
the
altars
that were in
Jerusalem
, and all the altars for
incense
took they
away
, and
cast
them into the
brook
Kidron
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:15
@ Then they
killed
the
passover
on the
fourteenth
H6240day of the
second
month
: and the
priests
and the
Levites
were
ashamed
, and
sanctified
themselves, and brought
in
the burnt
offerings
into the
house
of the
LORD
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:16
@ And they
stood
in their
place
after their
manner
, according to the
law
of
Moses
the
man
of
God
: the
priests
sprinkled
the
blood
, which they received of the
hand
of the
Levites
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:17
@ For there were
many
in the
congregation
that were not
sanctified
: therefore the
Levites
had the charge of the
killing
of the
passovers
for every one that was not
clean
, to
sanctify
them unto the
LORD
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:18
@ For a
multitude
of the
people
, even
many
of
Ephraim
, and
Manasseh
,
Issachar
, and
Zebulun
, had
not
cleansed
themselves, yet did they
eat
the
passover
otherwise than it was
written
. But
Hezekiah
prayed
for them,
saying
, The
good
LORD
pardon
every one
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:19
@ That
prepareth
his
heart
to
seek
God
, the
LORD
God
of his
fathers
, though he be not cleansed according to the
purification
of the
sanctuary
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:20
@ And the
LORD
hearkened
to
Hezekiah
, and
healed
the
people
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:21
@ And the
children
of
Israel
that were
present
at
Jerusalem
kept
the
feast
of unleavened
bread
seven
days
with
great
gladness
: and the
Levites
and the
priests
praised
the
LORD
day
by
day
, singing with
loud
instruments
unto the
LORD
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:22
@ And
Hezekiah
spake
comfortably
unto all the
Levites
that
taught
the
good
knowledge
of the
LORD
: and they did
eat
throughout the
feast
seven
days
,
offering
peace
offerings
, and making
confession
to the
LORD
God
of their
fathers
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:23
@ And the whole
assembly
took
counsel
to
keep
other
seven
days
: and they
kept
other
seven
days
with
gladness
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:24
@ For
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
did
give
to the
congregation
a
thousand
bullocks
and
seven
thousand
sheep
; and the
princes
gave
to the
congregation
a
thousand
bullocks
and
ten
thousand
sheep
: and a great
number
of
priests
sanctified
themselves.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:25
@ And all the
congregation
of
Judah
, with the
priests
and the
Levites
, and all the
congregation
that came
out
of
Israel
, and the
strangers
that came
out
of the
land
of
Israel
, and that
dwelt
in
Judah
,
rejoiced
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:26
@ So there was
great
joy
in
Jerusalem
: for since the
time
of
Solomon
the
son
of
David
king
of
Israel
there was not the like in
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:30:27
@ Then the
priests
the
Levites
arose
and
blessed
the
people
: and their
voice
was
heard
, and their
prayer
came
up to his
holy
dwelling
place
, even unto
heaven
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:31:1
@ Now when all this was
finished
, all
Israel
that were
present
went
out
to the
cities
of
Judah
, and
brake
the
images
in
pieces
, and cut
down
the
groves
, and threw
down
the high
places
and the
altars
out of all
Judah
and
Benjamin
, in
Ephraim
also and
Manasseh
, until they had utterly
destroyed
them all. Then all the
children
of
Israel
returned
, every
man
to his
possession
, into their own
cities
.
