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 King Hezekiah sent messages to all the people of Israel and Judah, and he wrote letters to the people of Ephraim and Manasseh. Hezekiah invited all these people to come to the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover for the Lord, the God of Israel.

2 King Hezekiah, his officers, and all the people in Jerusalem agreed to celebrate the Passover in the second month.

3 They could not celebrate it at the normal time, because not enough priests had made themselves ready to serve the Lord, and the people had not yet gathered in Jerusalem.

4 This plan satisfied King Hezekiah and all the people.

5 So they made an announcement everywhere in Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, telling the people to come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover for the Lord, the God of Israel. For a long time most of the people had not celebrated the Passover as the law commanded.
