Context — Hezekiah Celebrates the Passover
11Nevertheless, some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
12Moreover, the power of God was on the people in Judah to give them one heart to obey the command of the king and his officials according to the word of the LORD.
13In the second month, a very great assembly gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
14They proceeded to remove the altars in Jerusalem and to take away the incense altars and throw them into the Kidron Valley. 15And on the fourteenth day of the second month they slaughtered the Passover lamb. The priests and Levites were ashamed, and they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings to the house of the LORD.Cross References

2 Chronicles 30:13 Summary
[The verse 2 Chronicles 30:13 tells us that a very great assembly gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which was a special time to remember God's deliverance and to worship Him. This gathering was a big deal, and it shows how important it is for believers to come together to worship and honor God, just like in Psalm 95:1-2. By celebrating the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the people were following God's commands, as seen in Exodus 12:15, and they were also preparing to celebrate the Passover, as described in 2 Chronicles 30:15.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why was the Feast of Unleavened Bread celebrated in the second month instead of the first month?
The Feast of Unleavened Bread was normally celebrated in the first month, but due to the spiritual state of the people, it was delayed until the second month, as seen in 2 Chronicles 30:13, to allow for proper preparation and purification, as commanded in Exodus 12:15.
What is the significance of a 'very great assembly' gathering in Jerusalem?
The gathering of a very great assembly in Jerusalem signifies the unity and devotion of the people to worship and obey God, as seen in 2 Chronicles 30:13, and is reminiscent of other great gatherings in the Bible, such as in Ezra 3:1 and Nehemiah 8:1.
How does this verse relate to the Passover celebration?
The Feast of Unleavened Bread was closely tied to the Passover celebration, as seen in Leviticus 23:5-6, and in 2 Chronicles 30:13, it is mentioned that the Passover lamb was slaughtered on the fourteenth day of the second month, as described in 2 Chronicles 30:15.
What can we learn from the example of the people gathering to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread?
We can learn the importance of community and corporate worship, as well as the value of setting aside time to focus on our relationship with God, as seen in Hebrews 10:25 and Psalm 95:1-2.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can prioritize worship and community in my own life, just as the people did in 2 Chronicles 30:13?
- How can I ensure that I am properly prepared to celebrate and worship God, just as the people were in 2 Chronicles 30:13?

- How can I apply the principle of unity and devotion seen in 2 Chronicles 30:13 to my relationships with other believers?

Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem. No JFB commentary on these verses.

2 Chronicles 30:13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.Ver. 13. A very great congregation.] Brought thither by God’ s holy hand; yea, the arm of the Lord was revealed unto them.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:13
THE AT (2 Chronicles 30:13-22). (13) Much people.—A very great congregation—a congregation in great multitude (lârôb mĕ ?’ôd). (See on 2 Chronicles 30:5.)
Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 30:13
13–27 (not in 2 Kin.). Hezekiah’s Great Passover 13. the feast of unleavened bread] In the “Passover” were united two separate “feasts,” (1) the eating of the lamb on the fourteenth of Nisan, (2) the eating of unleavened bread from the fourteenth to the twenty-first of Nisan. The combined Feast was sometimes called “the Passover” and sometimes (as here) “the feast of unleavened bread”; cp. Exodus 12:1-14; Exodus 12:17-20, and note that the intervening verses, 15, 16, bind the two feasts into one celebration.
