The proposal pleased the king and the congregation,
Since the plan seemed good to the king and the entire congregation,
The idea had seemed right to the king and to the whole community;
Passover wasn't celebrated in the first month, which was the usual time, because many of the priests were still unclean and unacceptable to serve, and because not everyone in Judah had come to Jerusalem for the festival. So Hezekiah, his officials, and the people agreed to celebrate Passover in the second month. Hezekiah sent a message to everyone in Israel and Judah, including those in the territories of Ephraim and West Manasseh, inviting them to the temple in Jerusalem for the celebration of Passover in honor of the Lord God of Israel.
And the thing pleased the king and the whole congregation.
And the thing pleased the king, and all the people.
The agreement satisfied King Hezekiah and all the assembly.
This idea seemed right to the king and to all the people.

Thus the thing was right in the eyes of the king and in the eyes of all the assembly.
and the plan seemed right in the eyes of the king and in the eyes of all the assembly.
The king and his advisors were in complete agreement in this matter,
Then Hezekiah invited all of Israel and Judah, with personal letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, to come to The Temple of God in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover to Israel’s God. The king and his officials and the congregation in Jerusalem had decided to celebrate Passover in the second month. They hadn’t been able to celebrate it at the regular time because not enough of the priests were yet personally prepared and the people hadn’t had time to gather in Jerusalem. Under these circumstances, the revised date was approved by both king and people and they sent out the invitation from one end of the country to the other, from Beersheba in the south to Dan in the north: “Come and celebrate the Passover to Israel’s God in Jerusalem.” No one living had ever celebrated it properly.
And this matter was pleasing in the eyes of the king and all the assembly.
The king and the whole assembly considered their plan to be the right thing to do.
This seemed right to the king and the entire assembly,
So the decision was right in the sight of the king and all the assembly.

And the thing pleased HaMelech and kol HaKahal.
And the thing pleased the king and all the Congregation.
and the plan seemed right to the king and all the assembly.
and the plan seemed right to the king and all the assembly.
The matter seemed right in the eyes of the king and of the entire community.
Since the people could not gather in Jerusalem immediately and since not enough priests were sanctified in time to celebrate the Passover holiday during the first month of his reign, Hezekiah, the leaders, and the people of Jerusalem decided to celebrate during the second month. So he decided to send word to everyone—from Beersheba in the far south to Dan in the far north—to come to the Eternal’s temple in Jerusalem and celebrate the Passover honoring the Eternal One, True God of Israel. Until Hezekiah, Judah had not celebrated as frequently as they should have.
The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
And the word pleased the king, and all the multitude. (And this decision pleased the king, and all the multitude.)
And the thing is right in the eyes of the king, and in the eyes of all the assembly,
