Quick answer

Nevertheless, some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem. It matters because a faithful remnant responded even when most refused.

Overview

Against the backdrop of widespread mockery, the Chronicler highlights those who humbled themselves and obeyed. Their humility marks the difference between the scoffers and the saved remnant. This pattern of a believing minority responding to God's call runs through redemptive history and is gathered up in those who humbly receive Christ.
