2 Chronicles 30:1-3

2 Chronicles 30:1-3

[1] 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.  [2] For the king  had taken counsel,  and his princes,  and all the congregation  in Jerusalem,  to keep  the passover  in the second  month.  [3] For they could  not keep  it at that time,  because the priests  had not sanctified  neither had the people  gathered themselves together  to Jerusalem.
