2 Chronicles 30:22

20 And the Lord listened to Hezekiah and healed the people.

21 So the children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept ^athe Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, singing to the Lord, accompanied by loud instruments.

22 And Hezekiah gave encouragement to all the Levites ^awho taught the good knowledge of the Lord; and they ate throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings and ^bmaking confession to the Lord God of their fathers.

23 Then the whole assembly agreed to keep the feast ^aanother seven days, and they kept it another seven days with gladness.

24 For Hezekiah king of Judah ^agave to the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep, and the leaders gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests ^bsanctified themselves.

25 The whole assembly of Judah rejoiced, also the priests and Levites, all the assembly that came from Israel, the sojourners ^awho came from the land of Israel, and those who dwelt in Judah.

26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of ^aSolomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem.

27 Then the priests, the Levites, arose and ^ablessed the people, and their voice was heard; and their prayer came up to ^bHis holy dwelling place, to heaven.

2 Chronicles 30:21-24

the children of Israel . . . kept the feast—The time appointed by the law for the continuance of the feast was seven days [Exodus 12:15; Exodus 13:6; Leviticus 23:6]; but in consequence of its having been allowed to fall so long into desuetude, they doubled the period of celebration and kept it fourteen days with unabated satisfaction and joy. Materials for the additional sacrificial meals were supplied by the munificence of the king and the princes.
