2 Chronicles 30:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ but they were not able to make it at that time, for the priests had not consecrated themselves in sufficient numbers,^[a] and the people had not been assembled in Jerusalem— ⁴ and the plan seemed right in the eyes of the king and in the eyes of all the assembly. ⁵ So they let the decree stand, to make a proclamation^[b] throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, to come to make a Passover feast to Yahweh the God of Israel.
