2 Chronicles 30:5-9

5So they established a decree to circulate a 1proclamation throughout all Israel 2from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to celebrate the Passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem. For they had not celebrated it in great numbers as it was 3prescribed. 6 4The 5couriers went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the hand of the king and his princes, even according to the command of the king, saying, “O sons of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, that He may return to those of you who escaped and are left from 6the 7hand of the kings of Assyria. 7 8Do not be like your fathers and your brothers, who were unfaithful to the Lord God of their fathers, so that 9He made them a horror, as you see. 8Now do not 10stiffen your neck like your fathers, but 11yield to the Lord and enter His sanctuary which He has consecrated forever, and serve the Lord your God, 12that His burning anger may turn away from you. 9For 13if you return to the Lord, your brothers and your sons will find compassion before those who led them captive and will return to this land. 14For the Lord your God is gracious and compassionate, and will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him.”
