2 Chron. 30:11‑18• ¹¹Nevertheless certain of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
¹²The hand of God was also upon Judah to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of Jehovah.
¹³And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to hold the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
¹⁴And they rose up and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem; and they took away all the incense-altars, and cast them into the torrent Kidron.
¹⁵And they slaughtered the passover on the fourteenth of the second month; and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and hallowed themselves; and they brought the burnt-offerings into the house of Jehovah.
¹⁶And they stood in their place after their custom, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood receiving it from the hand of the Levites.
¹⁷For there were many in the congregation that were not hallowed; therefore the Levites had the charge of the slaughtering of the passover-lambs for every one not clean, to hallow them unto Jehovah.
¹⁸For a multitude of the people, many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, and they ate the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them saying, Jehovah, who is good, forgive every one (2 Chron. 30:11‑18)
