10. So the couriers ran from city to city in the land of Ephraim and Manasseh and up to Zebulun, but the people laughed at them and mocked them.
11. However some men from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and journeyed to Jerusalem.
12. And even in Judah the hand of God was on them to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and officials by the word of the Lord.
13. And many people assembled in Jerusalem to have the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month. There was a very large assembly.
14. They went out and removed the altars that were in Jerusalem, and they took away all the incense altars and threw them into the Kidron Valley.
15. They slaughtered the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and Levites were ashamed, and they consecrated themselves and brought in burnt offerings to the house of the Lord.
