2 Chronicles 30:18-26

18For a multitude of the people, 1many from Ephraim and Manasseh, and Issachar and Zebulun, had not purified themselves, 2yet they ate the Passover 3contrary to what was written. For Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May the good Lord pardon 194everyone who prepares his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, though not according to the purification rules of the sanctuary.” 20So the Lord heard Hezekiah and 5healed the people. 21The sons of Israel present in Jerusalem 6celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy, and the Levites and the priests were praising the Lord day after day with loud instruments to the Lord. 22Then Hezekiah 7spoke 8encouragingly to all the Levites who showed good insight in the things of the Lord. So they ate for the appointed seven days, sacrificing peace offerings and 9giving thanks to the Lord God of their fathers.

23Then the whole assembly 10decided to celebrate the feast another seven days, so they celebrated the seven days with joy. 24For 11Hezekiah king of Judah had contributed to the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep, and the princes had contributed to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and 12a large number of priests consecrated themselves. 25All the assembly of Judah rejoiced, with the priests and the Levites and 13all the assembly that came from Israel, both the strangers who came from the land of Israel and those living in Judah. 26So there was great joy in Jerusalem, because there was nothing like this in Jerusalem 14since the days of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel.
