This occurred during King Hezekiah's religious reforms around 715 BC, after he had cleansed and rededicated the temple in Jerusalem. The priests and Levites had just purified themselves and the temple, ending years of neglect and idolatry under previous kings. This was part of a major spiritual revival in Judah.
