(2 Chron. 30.)—Not being able to keep the Passover on Abib 14th, it was decided to keep it on Zif 14th, as commanded in Num. 9:6–12. A royal proclamation was sent by runners (wherever the word posts is used, the Hebrew has runners) from Beersheba in the South to Dan in the North, to summon the tribes to the Lord’s Passover. The majority laughed them to scorn; but some came to Judah from Asher, Manasseh, Zebulun, Ephraim, and Issachar. They may have escaped the fate of the ten tribes. The priests and Levites, ashamed of their slothfulness, had sanctified themselves. There was joy in Jerusalem.
