For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.

Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.
