So much did the children of Ammon render unto him, in the second year also, and in the third.

For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.

And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.
