A righteous king of Israel, facing a nation on the brink of spiritual collapse, urgently called for repentance and restoration. With the people distant from God’s blessings and harvests scarce, he seized the opportunity of the approaching second Passover, as the temple was unprepared for the first. He issued a proclamation from Beersheba in Judah’s south to Dan in Israel’s north, inviting all to observe Passover in Jerusalem within a month. Urging the remnant who escaped Assyrian captivity to turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, he warned against repeating the sins of their forefathers, who trespassed against God and were taken captive. Through this call, the king led the nation to repent, restore proper worship, and faithfully observe Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, rekindling their covenant with God.
