And Hezekiah [3169] sent [7971] to all Israel [3478] and Judah, [3063] and wrote [3789] letters [0107] also to Ephraim [0669] and Manasseh, [4519] that they should come [0935] to the house [1004] of the LORD [3068] at Jerusalem, [3389] to keep [6213] the passover [6453] unto the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel. [3478]
2
For the king [4428] had taken counsel, [3289] and his princes, [8269] and all the congregation [6951] in Jerusalem, [3389] to keep [6213] the passover [6453] in the second [8145] month. [2320]
3
For they could [3201] not keep [6213] it at that time, [6256] because the priests [3548] had not sanctified [6942] themselves sufficiently, [4078] [1767] neither had the people [5971] gathered [0622] themselves together to Jerusalem. [3389]
4
And the thing [1697] pleased [3474] [5869] the king [4428] and [5869] all the congregation. [6951]
5
So they established [5975] a decree [1697] to make proclamation [5674] [6963] throughout all Israel, [3478] from Beersheba [0884] even to Dan, [1835] that they should come [0935] to keep [6213] the passover [6453] unto the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel [3478] at Jerusalem: [3389] for they had not done [6213] [it] of a long [7230] [time in such sort] as it was written. [3789]
6
So the posts [7323] went [3212] with the letters [0107] from [3027] the king [4428] and his princes [8269] throughout all Israel [3478] and Judah, [3063] and according to the commandment [4687] of the king, [4428] saying, [0559] Ye children [1121] of Israel, [3478] turn again [7725] unto the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Abraham, [0085] Isaac, [3327] and Israel, [3478] and he will return [7725] to the remnant [7604] of you, that are escaped [6413] out of the hand [3709] of the kings [4428] of Assyria. [0804]
7
And be not ye like your fathers, [0001] and like your brethren, [0251] which trespassed [4603] against the LORD [3068] God [0430] of their fathers, [0001] [who] therefore gave them up [5414] to desolation, [8047] as ye see. [7200]
8
Now be ye not stiffnecked, [7185] [6203] as your fathers [0001] [were, but] yield [5414] yourselves [3027] unto the LORD, [3068] and enter [0935] into his sanctuary, [4720] which he hath sanctified [6942] for ever: [5769] and serve [5647] the LORD [3068] your God, [0430] that the fierceness [2740] of his wrath [0639] may turn away [7725] from you.
9
For if ye turn again [7725] unto the LORD, [3068] your brethren [0251] and your children [1121] [shall find] compassion [7356] before [6440] them that lead them captive, [7617] so that they shall come again [7725] into this land: [0776] for the LORD [3068] your God [0430] [is] gracious [2587] and merciful, [7349] and will not turn away [5493] [his] face [6440] from you, if ye return [7725] unto him.
10
So the posts [7323] passed [5674] from city [5892] to city [5892] through the country [0776] of Ephraim [0669] and Manasseh [4519] even unto Zebulun: [2074] but they laughed them to scorn, [7832] and mocked [3932] them.
11
Nevertheless divers [0582] of Asher [0836] and Manasseh [4519] and of Zebulun [2074] humbled [3665] themselves, and came [0935] to Jerusalem. [3389]
12
Also in Judah [3063] the hand [3027] of God [0430] was to give [5414] them one [0259] heart [3820] to do [6213] the commandment [4687] of the king [4428] and of the princes, [8269] by the word [1697] of the LORD. [3068]
13
And there assembled [0622] at Jerusalem [3389] much [7227] people [5971] to keep [6213] the feast [2282] of unleavened bread [4682] in the second [8145] month, [2320] a very [3966] great [7230] congregation. [6951]
14
And they arose [6965] and took away [5493] the altars [4196] that [were] in Jerusalem, [3389] and all the altars for incense [6999] took they away, [5493] and cast [7993] [them] into the brook [5158] Kidron. [6939]
15
Then they killed [7819] the passover [6453] on the fourteenth [0702] [6240] [day] of the second [8145] month: [2320] and the priests [3548] and the Levites [3881] were ashamed, [3637] and sanctified [6942] themselves, and brought in [0935] the burnt offerings [5930] into the house [1004] of the LORD. [3068]
16
And they stood [5975] in their place [5977] after their manner, [4941] according to the law [8451] of Moses [4872] the man [0376] of God: [0430] the priests [3548] sprinkled [2236] the blood, [1818] [which they received] of the hand [3027] of the Levites. [3881]
17
For [there were] many [7227] in the congregation [6951] that were not sanctified: [6942] therefore the Levites [3881] had the charge of the killing [7821] of the passovers [6453] for every one [that was] not clean, [2889] to sanctify [6942] [them] unto the LORD. [3068]
18
For a multitude [4768] of the people, [5971] [even] many [7227] of Ephraim, [0669] and Manasseh, [4519] Issachar, [3485] and Zebulun, [2074] had not [3808] cleansed [2891] themselves, yet did they eat [0398] the passover [6453] otherwise [3808] than it was written. [3789] But Hezekiah [3169] prayed [6419] for them, saying, [0559] The good [2896] LORD [3068] pardon [3722] every one
19
[That] prepareth [3559] his heart [3824] to seek [1875] God, [0430] the LORD [3068] God [0430] of his fathers, [0001] though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification [2893] of the sanctuary. [6944]
20
And the LORD [3068] hearkened [8085] to Hezekiah, [3169] and healed [7495] the people. [5971]
21
And the children [1121] of Israel [3478] that were present [4672] at Jerusalem [3389] kept [6213] the feast [2282] of unleavened bread [4682] seven [7651] days [3117] with great [1419] gladness: [8057] and the Levites [3881] and the priests [3548] praised [1984] the LORD [3068] day [3117] by day, [3117] [singing] with loud [5797] instruments [3627] unto the LORD. [3068]
22
And Hezekiah [3169] spake [1696] comfortably [3820] unto all the Levites [3881] that taught [7919] the good [2896] knowledge [7922] of the LORD: [3068] and they did eat [0398] throughout the feast [4150] seven [7651] days, [3117] offering [2076] peace [8002] offerings, [2077] and making confession [3034] to the LORD [3068] God [0430] of their fathers. [0001]
23
And the whole assembly [6951] took counsel [3289] to keep [6213] other [0312] seven [7651] days: [3117] and they kept [6213] [other] seven [7651] days [3117] with gladness. [8057]
24
For Hezekiah [2396] king [4428] of Judah [3063] did give [7311] to the congregation [6951] a thousand [0505] bullocks [6499] and seven [7651] thousand [0505] sheep; [6629] and the princes [8269] gave [7311] to the congregation [6951] a thousand [0505] bullocks [6499] and ten [6235] thousand [0505] sheep: [6629] and a great number [7230] of priests [3548] sanctified [6942] themselves.
25
And all the congregation [6951] of Judah, [3063] with the priests [3548] and the Levites, [3881] and all the congregation [6951] that came [0935] out of Israel, [3478] and the strangers [1616] that came [0935] out of the land [0776] of Israel, [3478] and that dwelt [3427] in Judah, [3063] rejoiced. [8055]
26
So there was great [1419] joy [8057] in Jerusalem: [3389] for since the time [3117] of Solomon [8010] the son [1121] of David [1732] king [4428] of Israel [3478] [there was] not the like in Jerusalem. [3389]
27
Then the priests [3548] the Levites [3881] arose [6965] and blessed [1288] the people: [5971] and their voice [6963] was heard, [8085] and their prayer [8605] came [0935] [up] to his holy [6944] dwelling place, [4583] [even] unto heaven. [8064]
