Hezekiah’s Couriers Carried the Call to Repent from City to City in Ephraim, Manasseh, and Zebulun. The response then was no different from what it is today in the United States.

2 Chronicles 30:6. So the couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king saying, You children of Israel, turn back to the LORD* God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel and He will return to your remnant who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria. 7. And do not be like your fathers and like your brothers who were treacherous against the LORD* God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as you see. 8. Now, Do not be stiffnecked like your fathers! Yield yourselves to the LORD*! Enter His Sanctuary, which He has sanctified forever! Serve the LORD* your God, so the fierceness of His wrath can turn away from you! 9. For if you return to the LORD*, your brothers and your children will find compassion before those who lead them captive, so that they will come back to this land, for the LORD* your God is gracious and compassionate, and He will not turn away His face from you, if you return to Him.
