1
Then Josiah
celebrated
the Passover
to the LORD
in Jerusalem,
and they slaughtered
the Passover
animals on the fourteenth
day of the first
month.
2
He set
the priests
in their offices
and encouraged
them in the service
of the house
of the LORD.
3
He also said
to the Levites
who taught
all
Israel
and who were holy
to
the LORD
,
"Put
the holy
ark
in the house
which
Solomon
the son
of David
king
of
Israel
built;
it will be a burden
on your shoulders
no
longer. Now
serve
the LORD
your God
and His people
Israel
.
4
"Prepare
yourselves by your fathers'
households
in your divisions,
according to the writing
of David
king
of Israel
and
according to the writing
of his son
Solomon.
5
"Moreover, stand
in the holy
place according to the sections
of the fathers'
households
of your brethren
the lay
people,
and according to the Levites,
by division
of a father's
household.
6
"Now slaughter
the Passover
animals, sanctify
yourselves and prepare
for your brethren
to do
according to the word
of the LORD
by Moses."
7
Josiah
contributed
to the lay
people,
to
all
who were present,
flocks
of lambs
and young
goats,
all
for the Passover offerings,
numbering
30,000
plus 3,000
bulls;
these
were from the king's
possessions.
8
His officers
also contributed
a freewill offering
to the people,
the priests
and the Levites.
Hilkiah
and Zechariah
and Jehiel,
the officials
of the house
of God,
gave
to
the priests
for the Passover offerings
2,600
from the flocks and 300
bulls.
9
Conaniah
also, and Shemaiah
and Nethanel,
his brothers,
and Hashabiah
and Jeiel
and Jozabad,
the officers
of the Levites,
contributed
to the Levites
for the Passover offerings
5,000
from the flocks and 500
bulls.
10
So the service
was prepared,
and the priests
stood
at their stations
and the Levites
by their divisions
according to the king's
command.
11
They slaughtered
the Passover
animals, and while the priests
sprinkled
the blood
received from their hand,
the Levites
skinned
them.
12
Then they removed
the burnt offerings
that they might give
them to the sections
of the fathers'
households
of the lay
people
to present
to the LORD,
as it is written
in the book
of Moses.
They did this
also with the bulls.
13
So they roasted
the Passover
animals on the fire
according to the ordinance,
and they boiled
the holy things
in pots,
in kettles,
in pans,
and carried them speedily
to all
the lay
people.
14
Afterwards
they
prepared
for themselves and for
the priests,
because
the priests,
the sons
of Aaron,
were offering
the burnt offerings
and the fat
until
night;
therefore the Levites
prepared
for themselves and for
the priests,
the sons
of Aaron.
15
The singers,
the sons
of
Asaph,
were also at their stations
according to the command
of David,
Asaph,
Heman,
and Jeduthun
the king's
seer;
and the gatekeepers
at each
gate
did not have
to depart
from their service,
because
the Levites
their brethren
prepared
for them.
16
So all
the service
of the LORD
was prepared
on that day
to celebrate
the Passover,
and to offer
burnt offerings
on the altar
of the LORD
according to the command
of King
Josiah.
17
Thus the sons
of Israel
who were present
celebrated
the Passover
at that time,
and the Feast
of Unleavened Bread
seven
days.
18
There had not been
celebrated
a Passover
like
it in Israel
since
the days
of Samuel
the prophet;
nor
had any
of the kings
of Israel
celebrated
such
a Passover
as Josiah
did
with the priests,
the Levites,
all
Judah
and Israel
who were present,
and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem.
19
In the eighteenth
year
of Josiah's
reign
this
Passover
was celebrated.
20
After
all
this,
when
Josiah
had set
the temple
in order,
Neco
king
of Egypt
came
up to make war
at Carchemish
on the Euphrates,
and
Josiah
went
out to engage
him.
21
But Neco sent
messengers
to him, saying,
"What
have we to do with each other, O King
of Judah?
I am not coming against
you today
but against
the house
with which I am at war,
and God
has ordered
me to hurry.
Stop
for your own sake from interfering with God
who
is with me, so
that He will not destroy
you."
22
However, Josiah
would not turn away
from him, but disguised
himself in order to make
war
with him; nor
did he listen
to the words
of Neco
from the mouth
of God,
but came
to make
war
on the plain
of Megiddo.
23
The archers
shot
King
Josiah,
and the king
said
to his servants,
"Take me away,
for I am badly
wounded."
24
So his servants
took
him out of the
chariot
and carried
him in the second
chariot
which
he had, and brought
him to Jerusalem
where he died
and was buried
in the tombs
of his fathers.
All
Judah
and Jerusalem
mourned
for Josiah.
25
Then Jeremiah
chanted a lament
for
Josiah
.
And all
the male and female singers
speak
about
Josiah
in their lamentations
to this day.
And they made
them an ordinance
in Israel;
behold,
they are also written
in the Lamentations.
26
Now the rest
of the acts
of Josiah
and his deeds of devotion
as written
in the law
of the LORD,
27
and his acts,
first
to last,
behold,
they are written
in the Book
of the Kings
of Israel
and Judah.
