Context of 2 Chronicles 30:7
5So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer–sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto Yhwh God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written. 6So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto Yhwh God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria. And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against Yhwh God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see. 8Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto Yhwh, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve Yhwh your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you. 9For if ye turn again unto Yhwh, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for Yhwh your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
