Note that 931BC marks the division of the Kingdom into Southern Tribes (Judah and Benjamin) and Ten Northern Tribes. To avoid confusion be aware that after the division of the Kingdom in 931BC, the Southern Kingdom is most often designated in Scripture as "Judah" and the Northern Kingdom as "Israel." Finally, note that 1 Chronicles 1-9 is not identified on the timeline because these chapters are records of genealogy.

Now marks the time after the Temple had been cleansed and worship restored in the first year of Hezekiah’s reign (2 Chr 29). This points specifically to the moment when Hezekiah moved from restoration to celebration by calling the nation to keep the Passover. Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover (pesach/pesah) to the LORD God of Israel - Hezekiah intentionally sought a spirit of unity and spiritual restoration, inviting not only Judah but also the remnant of the northern tribes to return to the LORD by gathering at Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover in renewed covenant worship. It was Hezekiah's open invitation to return to the LORD. The Chronicler later records another major Passover celebration during the reign of Josiah in 2 Chronicles 35:1–19, presenting it as a climactic act of covenant renewal near the end of Judah’s monarchy. In contrast, Hezekiah’s Passover in 2 Chronicles 30 has no parallel account in Kings, highlighting the Chronicler’s distinctive theological emphasis: he selectively preserves events that illustrate repentance, unity, and proper worship centered on the temple. By including Hezekiah’s Passover—and omitting it from Kings—the Chronicler underscores that true reform is measured not merely by political change but by restored obedience and joyful return to the LORD’s appointed worship. Raymond Dillard: This verse is a summary statement introducing the entire narrative (Rudolph, 299). The oral proclamation was accompanied by letters (cf. Esth 1:22). (Borrow 2 Chronicles) Mark Boda: The Passover is understood merely as the introduction to the subsequent Festival of Unleavened Bread, which ran for the following seven days (see Ex 12- 13; 23:14-17; 34:18-23; Lev 23; Dt 16:1-17). In Torah legislation the Passover lamb is chosen on the 10th day of the first month, sacrificed on the 14th day, and eaten in an evening meal as the 15th day of the month began. The Festival of Unleavened Bread then ran from the 15th to the 21st day of the first month. Believer's Study Bible - (2Ch 30:1-4) Hezekiah called for the observance of the Passover at the newly renovated temple in Jerusalem (cf. 29:20-36) during the second month of the first year of his reign over Judah (cf. 2Ch 30:2; 29:1-3). The Passover was instituted when Israel was in Egypt in the month of Abib (Ex. 12:1-28; 13:1-10, especially v. 4). After the Babylonian captivity the name of the month was changed from Abib to Nisan, which was the Babylonian name for the month (Ezra 6:19; Esth. 3:7). This month began during the modern month of March. According to the Law of Moses, provisions were established to permit the observance of the Passover during the second month, Ziv (called Iyyar following the Babylonian captivity), which corresponds with April-May, in order to accommodate those who were unable to observe it at the appointed time (cf. Num. 9:6-14). This supplementary Passover time was utilized by Hezekiah in the present setting (2Ch 30:1-4). Bob
