And he took the book of the covenant and read in the audience of the people, and they said, All that the LORD has said we will do, and we will hear.

Then the king commanded all the people, saying, Make the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.

And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests and the prophets and all the people, from the smallest to the greatest; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which had been found in the house of the LORD.
