11. Nevertheless some from Asher and Manasseh and Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
12. Also the hand of God was upon Judah to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
13. And there assembled at Jerusalem many people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
14. And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
15. Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
16. And they stood in their place according to their custom, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received from the hand of the Levites.
17. For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had charge of the killing of the passover lambs for everyone that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.
18. For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon everyone
19. That prepares his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he is not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
