2 Chronicles 30:1-6

2 Chronicles 30:1-6

[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.  [4] And the thing  pleased  the king  and all the congregation.  [5] So they established  a decree  to make proclamation  throughout all Israel,  from Beersheba  even 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.  [6] So the posts  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.
