Explanation
King Josiah celebrated a huge Passover feast that had not been properly kept for many years. This celebration remembered how God freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
The Passover had been neglected during the years when Judah worshiped false gods. Josiah brought back this important remembrance of God’s deliverance as part of his reforms.
This shows that returning to God means remembering His past faithfulness and celebrating it properly.
