Context of 2 Chronicles 30:12

10So the messengers went from city to city in the territories of Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun. But the people ridiculed them. 11However, some people from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem. Also, God guided the people of Judah so that they united to carry out the command which the king and the leaders gave from the Lord’s word. 13Many people gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread in the second month. They formed a large assembly. 14Then the people got rid of the ⌞idols’⌟ altars in Jerusalem. They got rid of all the altars for incense by dumping them in the Kidron Valley.
