During the reign of King Hezekiah in Judah, the nation was in the midst of religious reforms to restore true worship of God after years of idolatry under previous kings. Hezekiah called for a nationwide celebration of the Passover, which was postponed from the first month to the second month because the temple had not yet been purified and many people were unprepared. This gathering in Jerusalem for the Feast of Unleavened Bread highlighted a massive assembly of people demonstrating renewed commitment to God's laws.
