Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:1

Theological / Devotional

Sent to all Israel and Judah. This shows Hezekiah’s concern not only for Judah but also for Israel. Having restored the worship in the Temple, he sent letters throughout the territory of Israel inviting its people to come to the Passover service.

To Ephraim and Manasseh. These were the principal tribes in the territory of the northern kingdom not yet carried into captivity. The tribes east of the Jordan and the northern tribes had earlier suffered deportation (2 Kings 15:29; 1 Chron. 5:26).
