1
Moreover Josiah [2977] kept [6213] a passover [6453] unto the LORD [3068] in Jerusalem: [3389] and they killed [7819] the passover [6453] on the fourteenth [0702] [6240] [day] of the first [7223] month. [2320]
2
And he set [5975] the priests [3548] in their charges, [4931] and encouraged [2388] them to the service [5656] of the house [1004] of the LORD, [3068]
3
And said [0559] unto the Levites [3881] that taught [0995] all Israel, [3478] which were holy [6918] unto the LORD, [3068] Put [5414] the holy [6944] ark [0727] in the house [1004] which Solomon [8010] the son [1121] of David [1732] king [4428] of Israel [3478] did build; [1129] [it shall] not [be] a burden [4853] upon [your] shoulders: [3802] serve [5647] now the LORD [3068] your God, [0430] and his people [5971] Israel, [3478]
4
And prepare [3559] [yourselves] by the houses [1004] of your fathers, [0001] after your courses, [4256] according to the writing [3791] of David [1732] king [4428] of Israel, [3478] and according to the writing [4385] of Solomon [8010] his son. [1121]
5
And stand [5975] in the holy [6944] [place] according to the divisions [6391] of the families [1004] of the fathers [0001] of your brethren [0251] the people, [1121] [5971] and [after] the division [2515] of the families [0001] [1004] of the Levites. [3881]
6
So kill [7819] the passover, [6453] and sanctify [6942] yourselves, and prepare [3559] your brethren, [0251] that [they] may do [6213] according to the word [1697] of the LORD [3068] by the hand [3027] of Moses. [4872]
7
And Josiah [2977] gave [7311] to the people, [1121] [5971] of the flock, [6629] lambs [3532] and kids, [1121] [5795] all for the passover offerings, [6453] for all that were present, [4672] to the number [4557] of thirty [7970] thousand, [0505] and three [7969] thousand [0505] bullocks: [1241] these [were] of the king's [4428] substance. [7399]
8
And his princes [8269] gave [7311] willingly [5071] unto the people, [5971] to the priests, [3548] and to the Levites: [3881] Hilkiah [2518] and Zechariah [2148] and Jehiel, [3171] rulers [5057] of the house [1004] of God, [0430] gave [5414] unto the priests [3548] for the passover offerings [6453] two thousand [0505] and six [8337] hundred [3967] [small cattle], and three [7969] hundred [3967] oxen. [1241]
9
Conaniah [3562] also, and Shemaiah [8098] and Nethaneel, [5417] his brethren, [0251] and Hashabiah [2811] and Jeiel [3273] and Jozabad, [3107] chief [8269] of the Levites, [3881] gave [7311] unto the Levites [3881] for passover offerings [6453] five [2568] thousand [0505] [small cattle], and five [2568] hundred [3967] oxen. [1241]
10
So the service [5656] was prepared, [3559] and the priests [3548] stood [5975] in their place, [5977] and the Levites [3881] in their courses, [4256] according to the king's [4428] commandment. [4687]
11
And they killed [7819] the passover, [6453] and the priests [3548] sprinkled [2236] [the blood] from their hands, [3027] and the Levites [3881] flayed [6584] [them].
12
And they removed [5493] the burnt offerings, [5930] that they might give [5414] according to the divisions [4653] of the families [0001] [1004] of the people, [1121] [5971] to offer [7126] unto the LORD, [3068] as [it is] written [3789] in the book [5612] of Moses. [4872] And so [did they] with the oxen. [1241]
13
And they roasted [1310] the passover [6453] with fire [0784] according to the ordinance: [4941] but the [other] holy [6944] [offerings] sod [1310] they in pots, [5518] and in caldrons, [1731] and in pans, [6745] and divided [them] speedily [7323] among all the people. [1121] [5971]
14
And afterward [0310] they made ready [3559] for themselves, and for the priests: [3548] because the priests [3548] the sons [1121] of Aaron [0175] [were busied] in offering [5927] of burnt offerings [5930] and the fat [2459] until night; [3915] therefore the Levites [3881] prepared [3559] for themselves, and for the priests [3548] the sons [1121] of Aaron. [0175]
15
And the singers [7891] the sons [1121] of Asaph [0623] [were] in their place, [4612] according to the commandment [4687] of David, [1732] and Asaph, [0623] and Heman, [1968] and Jeduthun [3038] the king's [4428] seer; [2374] and the porters [7778] [waited] at every gate; [8179] [8179] they might not depart [5493] from their service; [5656] for their brethren [0251] the Levites [3881] prepared [3559] for them.
16
So all the service [5656] of the LORD [3068] was prepared [3559] the same day, [3117] to keep [6213] the passover, [6453] and to offer [5927] burnt offerings [5930] upon the altar [4196] of the LORD, [3068] according to the commandment [4687] of king [4428] Josiah. [2977]
17
And the children [1121] of Israel [3478] that were present [4672] kept [6213] the passover [6453] at that time, [6256] and the feast [2282] of unleavened bread [4682] seven [7651] days. [3117]
18
And there was no passover [6453] like [3644] to that kept [6213] in Israel [3478] from the days [3117] of Samuel [8050] the prophet; [5030] neither did [6213] all the kings [4428] of Israel [3478] keep [6213] such a passover [6453] as Josiah [2977] kept, [6213] and the priests, [3548] and the Levites, [3881] and all Judah [3063] and Israel [3478] that were present, [4672] and the inhabitants [3427] of Jerusalem. [3389]
19
In the eighteenth [8083] [6240] year [8141] of the reign [4438] of Josiah [2977] was this passover [6453] kept. [6213]
20
After [0310] all this, when Josiah [2977] had prepared [3559] the temple, [1004] Necho [5224] king [4428] of Egypt [4714] came up [5927] to fight [3898] against Carchemish [3751] by Euphrates: [6578] and Josiah [2977] went out [3318] against [7125] him.
21
But he sent [7971] ambassadors [4397] to him, saying, [0559] What have I to do with thee, thou king [4428] of Judah? [3063] [I come] not against thee this day, [3117] but against the house [1004] wherewith I have war: [4421] for God [0430] commanded [0559] me to make haste: [0926] forbear [2308] thee from [meddling with] God, [0430] who [is] with me, that he destroy [7843] thee not.
22
Nevertheless Josiah [2977] would not turn [5437] his face [6440] from him, but disguised [2664] himself, that he might fight [3898] with him, and hearkened [8085] not unto the words [1697] of Necho [5224] from the mouth [6310] of God, [0430] and came [0935] to fight [3898] in the valley [1237] of Megiddo. [4023]
23
And the archers [3384] shot [3384] at king [4428] Josiah; [2977] and the king [4428] said [0559] to his servants, [5650] Have me away; [5674] for I am sore [3966] wounded. [2470]
24
His servants [5650] therefore took [5674] him out of that chariot, [4818] and put [7392] him in the second [4932] chariot [7393] that he had; and they brought [3212] him to Jerusalem, [3389] and he died, [4191] and was buried [6912] in [one of] the sepulchres [6913] of his fathers. [0001] And all Judah [3063] and Jerusalem [3389] mourned [0056] for Josiah. [2977]
25
And Jeremiah [3414] lamented [6969] for Josiah: [2977] and all the singing [7891] men and the singing [7891] women spake [0559] of Josiah [2977] in their lamentations [7015] to this day, [3117] and made [5414] them an ordinance [2706] in Israel: [3478] and, behold, they [are] written [3789] in the lamentations. [7015]
26
Now the rest [3499] of the acts [1697] of Josiah, [2977] and his goodness, [2617] according to [that which was] written [3789] in the law [8451] of the LORD, [3068]
27
And his deeds, [1697] first [7223] and last, [0314] behold, they [are] written [3789] in the book [5612] of the kings [4428] of Israel [3478] and Judah. [3063]
