2Ch 13:4, 30:5-11, Jer 50:19, Act 8:5-8 | ESV | STEP | Then Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim that is in the hill country of Ephraim and said , Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel !

5 So they decreed to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, ^cfrom Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come and keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem, for they had not kept it as often as prescribed. 6 ^dSo couriers went throughout all Israel and Judah with letters from the king and his princes, as the king had commanded, saying, “O people of Israel, ^ereturn to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may turn again to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of ^fthe kings of Assyria. 7 ^gDo not be like your fathers and your brothers, who were faithless to the Lord God of their fathers, so that he made them a desolation, as you see. 8 ^hDo not now be stiff-necked as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the Lord and come to his sanctuary, which he has consecrated forever, and serve the Lord your God, ⁱthat his fierce anger may turn away from you. 9 For ^jif you return to the Lord, your brothers and your children ^kwill find compassion with their captors and return to this land. For ^lthe Lord your God is gracious and merciful and will not turn away his face from you, ^mif you return to him.”

10 ⁿSo the couriers went from city to city through the country of ^oEphraim and Manasseh, and as far as Zebulun, but ^pthey laughed them to scorn and mocked them. 11 However, ^qsome men of Asher, of Manasseh, and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 50:19

19 ^rI will restore Israel to his pasture, and ^she shall feed on ^tCarmel and in ^uBashan, and his desire shall be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in ^vGilead.

Acts 8:5-8

5 ^wPhilip went down to the city ^{▼▼Some manuscripts a city} of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ. 6 ^yAnd the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip, when they heard him ^zand saw the signs that he did. 7 For ^aaunclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. 8 So ^abthere was much joy in that city.
