2 Chronicles 30:2-5

2For the king and his officials and the entire congregation in Jerusalem decided to observe the Passover of the Lord in the second month,

3because they were not able to observe it at the appropriate time. Not enough of the priests had consecrated themselves, and the people hadn’t been gathered together in Jerusalem.

4The proposal pleased the king and the congregation,

5so they affirmed the proposal and spread the message throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, to come to observe the Passover of the Lord, the God of Israel in Jerusalem, for they hadn’t observed it often, as prescribed.
