2 Chronicles 31:1

In Ephraim also, and Manasseh— Though these tribes made part of Hoshea's dominions, yet Hezekiah might direct this abolition of idolatry in them, either in virtue of a law which bound Israel as well as Judah, and required the extirpation of these things in the whole land of Caanan; or by the special impulse and direction of God's spirit, which puts men upon heroic actions, though not to be drawn into imitation; or, out of a firm persuasion that his neighbour Hoshea, who had permitted his subjects to repair to the passover, would approve of, and consent to, what he did in this respect.
