2 Chronicles 30:2-5

2The king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem decided to celebrate the Passover in the second month.

3They had not been able to celebrate it at the regular time because not enough priests had consecrated themselves and the people had not assembled in Jerusalem.

4The plan seemed right both to the king and to the whole assembly.

5They decided to send a proclamation throughout Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, calling the people to come to Jerusalem and celebrate the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel. It had not been celebrated in large numbers according to what was written.
