The promise of the Passover is not limited to the time of the Exodus. It also prevailed in the time of Hezekiah about 800 years after the [[Exodus]]. Hezekiah was the thirteenth king of the southern Kingdom of Judah. After the unified Kingdom of Israel was divided into the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah, the Passover had not been celebrated for a long time.
