📚 Historical Context

During the reign of King Hezekiah in Judah, he worked to revive the proper observance of Passover, which had been neglected due to the spiritual decline under previous kings. He sent invitations throughout Israel and Judah, urging people to come to Jerusalem, but many in the northern tribes ridiculed the messengers. Nevertheless, individuals from the tribes of Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and made the journey to participate in the celebration.
