📚 Historical Context
During the reign of King Hezekiah in ancient Judah, the people had long neglected proper worship and the observance of Passover due to years of spiritual unfaithfulness under previous kings. Hezekiah led a national revival by restoring the festival and inviting the people to participate, even though many were ceremonially unclean, and he interceded in prayer on their behalf. God responded by healing the people, showing His mercy toward those who turned back to Him.
