    2 Chronicles 30 Summary

    Hezekiah invites all Israel—including the northern tribes—to celebrate Passover in Jerusalem, something that hadn't been done nationally for generations. Some northerners mock the invitation, but many humble themselves and come.

    The celebration is so joyful that the people unanimously decide to extend it another seven days. Hezekiah prays for those who participated without proper ceremonial cleansing, and God graciously heals them. This Passover revival unites divided Israel in worship for the first time since Solomon.
