2 Chronicles 35:17

So the sons of Israel who were present kept the passover at that time,—and the festival of unleavened cakes, seven days.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.

In Context

16Thus was all the service of Yahweh prepared on that day; to keep the passover, and to offer up the ascending-sacrifice, upon the altar of Yahweh,—according to the commandment of King Josiah.

18And there had not been kept, a passover like it, in Israel, since the days of Samuel the prophet,—yea, none of the kings of Israel, had kept such a passover as was kept by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
