And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

They celebrated the festival of unleavened bread happily for seven days because the Lord made them happy and changed the king of Assyria's mind towards them. This helped them in building God's house in Israel.
