Context of 2 Chronicles 30:25
23Then the whole assembly decided to celebrate the festival for seven more days. So they joyfully celebrated for seven more days. 24King Hezekiah of Judah provided 1,000 bulls and 7,000 sheep as sacrifices for the assembly. The leaders provided 1,000 bulls and 10,000 sheep for the assembly. So a large number of priests were able to perform the ceremonies to make themselves holy. The whole assembly from Judah, the priests, the Levites, the whole assembly from Israel, the foreigners who came from Israel, and those who lived in Judah rejoiced. 26The city of Jerusalem was filled with joy. Nothing like this had happened in Jerusalem since the days of King Solomon of Israel. 27Then the Levitical priests blessed the people. Their voices were heard, and their prayers went to God’s holy place in heaven.
