In Judah God moved the people to unite and carry out the edict the king and the officers had issued at the Lord’s command. 13A huge crowd assembled in Jerusalem to observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month. 14They removed the altars in Jerusalem; they also removed all the incense altars and threw them into the Kidron Valley.
