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 Then Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and he also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, to come to the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem to make a Passover feast to Yahweh the God of Israel.

2 Now the king and his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem had taken counsel to make the Passover feast in the second month--

3 but they were not able to make it at that time, for the priests had not consecrated themselves {in sufficient numbers}, 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} throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, to come to make a Passover feast to Yahweh the God of Israel.
