For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the
congregation in Jerusalem
He and his nobles, and the great sanhedrim or senate of the nation, had consulted together: to keep the passover in the second month;

2 Chronicles 30:1 In-Context

1 Hizkiyahu sent to all Yisra'el and Yehudah, and wrote letters also to Efrayim and Menashsheh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Yerushalayim, to keep the Pesach to the LORD, the God of Yisra'el.
2 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the assembly in Yerushalayim, to keep the Pesach in the second month.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the Kohanim had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Yerushalayim.
4 The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Yisra'el, from Be'er-Sheva even to Dan, that they should come to keep the Pesach to the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, at Yerushalayim: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written.
