Chapter 35
Moreover
Josiah
kept
a
passover
unto
the
Lord
in
Jerusalem:
and
they
killed
the
passover
on
the
fourteenth
day
of
the
first
month.
2
And
he
set
the
priests
in
their
charges,
and
encouraged
them
to
the
service
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
3
And
said
unto
the
Levites
that
taught
all
Israel,
which
were
holy
unto
the
Lord,
Put
the
holy
ark
in
the
house
which
Solomon
the
son
of
David
king
of
Israel
did
build;
it
shall
not
be
a
burden
upon
your
shoulders:
serve
now
the
Lord
your
God,
and
his
people
Israel,
4
And
prepare
yourselves
by
the
houses
of
your
fathers,
after
your
courses,
according
to
the
writing
of
David
king
of
Israel,
and
according
to
the
writing
of
Solomon
his
son.
5
And
stand
in
the
holy
place
according
to
the
divisions
of
the
families
of
the
fathers
of
your
brethren
the
people,
and
after
the
division
of
the
families
of
the
Levites.
6
So
kill
the
passover,
and
sanctify
yourselves,
and
prepare
your
brethren,
that
they
may
do
according
to
the
word
of
the
Lord
by
the
hand
of
Moses.
7
And
Josiah
gave
to
the
people,
of
the
flock,
lambs
and
kids,
all
for
the
passover
offerings,
for
all
that
were
present,
to
the
number
of
thirty
thousand,
and
three
thousand
bullocks:
these
were
of
the
king’s
substance.
8
And
his
princes
gave
willingly
unto
the
people,
to
the
priests,
and
to
the
Levites:
Hilkiah
and
Zechariah
and
Jehiel,
rulers
of
the
house
of
God,
gave
unto
the
priests
for
the
passover
offerings
two
thousand
and
six
hundred
small
cattle,
and
three
hundred
oxen.
9
Conaniah
also,
and
Shemaiah
and
Nethaneel,
his
brethren,
and
Hashabiah
and
Jeiel
and
Jozabad,
chief
of
the
Levites,
gave
unto
the
Levites
for
passover
offerings
five
thousand
small
cattle,
and
five
hundred
oxen.
10
So
the
service
was
prepared,
and
the
priests
stood
in
their
place,
and
the
Levites
in
their
courses,
according
to
the
king’s
commandment.
11
And
they
killed
the
passover,
and
the
priests
sprinkled
the
blood
from
their
hands,
and
the
Levites
flayed
them.
12
And
they
removed
the
burnt
offerings,
that
they
might
give
according
to
the
divisions
of
the
families
of
the
people,
to
offer
unto
the
Lord,
as
it
is
written
in
the
book
of
Moses.
And
so
did
they
with
the
oxen.
13
And
they
roasted
the
passover
with
fire
according
to
the
ordinance:
but
the
other
holy
offerings
sod
they
in
pots,
and
in
caldrons,
and
in
pans,
and
divided
them
speedily
among
all
the
people.
14
And
afterward
they
made
ready
for
themselves,
and
for
the
priests:
because
the
priests
the
sons
of
Aaron
were
busied
in
offering
of
burnt
offerings
and
the
fat
until
night;
therefore
the
Levites
prepared
for
themselves,
and
for
the
priests
the
sons
of
Aaron.
15
And
the
singers
the
sons
of
Asaph
were
in
their
place,
according
to
the
commandment
of
David,
and
Asaph,
and
Heman,
and
Jeduthun
the
king’s
seer;
and
the
porters
waited
at
every
gate;
they
might
not
depart
from
their
service;
for
their
brethren
the
Levites
prepared
for
them.
16
So
all
the
service
of
the
Lord
was
prepared
the
same
day,
to
keep
the
passover,
and
to
offer
burnt
offerings
upon
the
altar
of
the
Lord,
according
to
the
commandment
of
king
Josiah.
17
And
the
children
of
Israel
that
were
present
kept
the
passover
at
that
time,
and
the
feast
of
unleavened
bread
seven
days.
18
And
there
was
no
passover
like
to
that
kept
in
Israel
from
the
days
of
Samuel
the
prophet;
neither
did
all
the
kings
of
Israel
keep
such
a
passover
as
Josiah
kept,
and
the
priests,
and
the
Levites,
and
all
Judah
and
Israel
that
were
present,
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
19
In
the
eighteenth
year
of
the
reign
of
Josiah
was
this
passover
kept.
20
After
all
this,
when
Josiah
had
prepared
the
temple,
Necho
king
of
Egypt
came
up
to
fight
against
Carchemish
by
Euphrates:
and
Josiah
went
out
against
him.
21
But
he
sent
ambassadors
to
him,
saying,
What
have
I
to
do
with
thee,
thou
king
of
Judah?
I
come
not
against
thee
this
day,
but
against
the
house
wherewith
I
have
war:
for
God
commanded
me
to
make
haste:
forbear
thee
from
meddling
with
God,
who
is
with
me,
that
he
destroy
thee
not.
22
Nevertheless
Josiah
would
not
turn
his
face
from
him,
but
disguised
himself,
that
he
might
fight
with
him,
and
hearkened
not
unto
the
words
of
Necho
from
the
mouth
of
God,
and
came
to
fight
in
the
valley
of
Megiddo.
23
And
the
archers
shot
at
king
Josiah;
and
the
king
said
to
his
servants,
Have
me
away;
for
I
am
sore
wounded.
24
His
servants
therefore
took
him
out
of
that
chariot,
and
put
him
in
the
second
chariot
that
he
had;
and
they
brought
him
to
Jerusalem,
and
he
died,
and
was
buried
in
one
of
the
sepulchres
of
his
fathers.
And
all
Judah
and
Jerusalem
mourned
for
Josiah.
25
And
Jeremiah
lamented
for
Josiah:
and
all
the
singing
men
and
the
singing
women
spake
of
Josiah
in
their
lamentations
to
this
day,
and
made
them
an
ordinance
in
Israel:
and,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
lamentations.
26
Now
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Josiah,
and
his
goodness,
according
to
that
which
was
written
in
the
law
of
the
Lord,
27
And
his
deeds,
first
and
last,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
book
of
the
kings
of
Israel
and
Judah.
