Context of 2 Chronicles 30:13

11But some men from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem. 12In Judah God moved the people to unite and carry out the edict the king and the officers had issued at the Lord’s command. A 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. 15They slaughtered the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and Levites were ashamed, so they consecrated themselves and brought burnt sacrifices to the Lord’s temple.
