2 Chronicles 30:1-3

Revised Geneva Translation

30 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the House of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD God of Israel.

² And the king and his princes and all the Congregation had taken counsel in Jerusalem to keep the Passover in the second month.

³ For they could not keep it at the present time, because there were not enough sanctified priests, nor were the people gathered to Jerusalem.
