2 Chronicles 35:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Josiah observed a Passover festival for the LORD in Jerusalem. They slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 He appointed the priests to fulfill their duties and encouraged them to carry out their service in the LORD's temple.
3 He told the Levites, who instructed all Israel about things consecrated to the LORD, "Place the holy ark in the temple which King Solomon son of David of Israel built. Don't carry it on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and his people Israel!
4 Prepare yourselves by your families according to your divisions, as instructed by King David of Israel and his son Solomon.
5 Stand in the sanctuary and, together with the Levites, represent the family divisions of your countrymen.
6 Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, and make preparations for your countrymen to do what the LORD commanded through Moses."
7 From his own royal flocks and herds, Josiah supplied the people with 30,000 lambs and goats for the Passover sacrifice, as well as 3,000 cattle.
8 His officials also willingly contributed to the people, priests, and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the leaders of God's temple, supplied 2,600 Passover sacrifices and 300 cattle.
9 Konaniah and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, along with Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the officials of the Levites, supplied the Levites with 5,000 Passover sacrifices and 500 cattle.
10 Preparations were made, and the priests stood at their posts and the Levites in their divisions as prescribed by the king.
11 They slaughtered the Passover lambs and the priests splashed the blood, while the Levites skinned the animals.
12 They reserved the burnt offerings and the cattle for the family divisions of the people to present to the LORD, as prescribed in the scroll of Moses.
13 They cooked the Passover sacrifices over the open fire as prescribed and cooked the consecrated offerings in pots, kettles, and pans. They quickly served them to all the people.
14 Afterward they made preparations for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were offering burnt sacrifices and fat portions until evening. The Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
15 The musicians, the descendants of Asaph, manned their posts, as prescribed by David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's prophet. The guards at the various gates did not need to leave their posts, for their fellow Levites made preparations for them.
16 So all the preparations for the LORD's service were made that day, as the Passover was observed and the burnt sacrifices were offered on the altar of the LORD, as prescribed by King Josiah.
17 So the Israelites who were present observed the Passover at that time, as well as the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
18 A Passover like this had not been observed in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel had observed a Passover like the one celebrated by Josiah, the priests, the Levites, all the people of Judah and Israel who were there, and the residents of Jerusalem.
19 This Passover was observed in the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign.
20 After Josiah had done all this for the temple, King Necho of Egypt marched up to do battle at Carchemish on the Euphrates River. Josiah marched out to oppose him.
21 Necho sent messengers to him, saying, "Why are you opposing me, O king of Judah? I am not attacking you today, but the kingdom with which I am at war. God told me to hurry. Stop opposing God, who is with me, or else he will destroy you."
22 But Josiah did not turn back from him; he disguised himself for battle. He did not take seriously the words of Necho which he had received from God; he went to fight him in the Plain of Megiddo.
23 Archers shot King Josiah; the king ordered his servants, "Take me out of this chariot, for I am seriously wounded."
24 So his servants took him out of the chariot, put him in another chariot that he owned, and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors; all the people of Judah and Jerusalem mourned Josiah.
25 Jeremiah composed laments for Josiah which all the male and female singers use to mourn Josiah to this very day. It has become customary in Israel to sing these; they are recorded in the Book of Laments.
26 The rest of the events of Josiah's reign, including the faithful acts he did in obedience to what is written in the law of the LORD
27 and his accomplishments, from start to finish, are recorded in the Scroll of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
1 Moreover Josiah H2977 kept H6213 a passover H6453 unto the LORD H3068 in Jerusalem: H3389 and they killed H7819 the passover H6453 on the fourteenth H702 H6240 day of the first H7223 month. H2320
2 And he set H5975 the priests H3548 in H5921 their charges, H4931 and encouraged H2388 them to the service H5656 of the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068
3 And said H559 unto the Levites H3881 that taught H4000 all H3605 Israel, H3478 which were holy H6918 unto the LORD, H3068 Put H5414 H853 the holy H6944 ark H727 in the house H1004 which H834 Solomon H8010 the son H1121 of David H1732 king H4428 of Israel H3478 did build; H1129 it shall not H369 be a burden H4853 upon your shoulders: H3802 serve H5647 now H6258 H853 the LORD H3068 your God, H430 and his people H5971 Israel, H3478
4 And prepare H3559 yourselves by the houses H1004 of your fathers, H1 after your courses, H4256 according to the writing H3791 of David H1732 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 and according to the writing H4385 of Solomon H8010 his son. H1121
5 And stand H5975 in the holy H6944 place according to the divisions H6391 of the families H1004 of the fathers H1 of your brethren H251 the people H1121 H5971 , and after the division H2515 of the families H1004 H1 of the Levites. H3881
6 So kill H7819 the passover, H6453 and sanctify yourselves, H6942 and prepare H3559 your brethren, H251 that they may do H6213 according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by the hand H3027 of Moses. H4872
7 And Josiah H2977 gave H7311 to the people H1121 H5971 , of the flock, H6629 lambs H3532 and kids H1121 H5795 , all H3605 for the passover offerings, H6453 for all H3605 that were present, H4672 to the number H4557 of thirty H7970 thousand, H505 and three H7969 thousand H505 bullocks: H1241 these H428 were of the king's H4428 substance H4480 H7399 .
8 And his princes H8269 gave H7311 willingly H5071 unto the people, H5971 to the priests, H3548 and to the Levites: H3881 Hilkiah H2518 and Zechariah H2148 and Jehiel, H3171 rulers H5057 of the house H1004 of God, H430 gave H5414 unto the priests H3548 for the passover offerings H6453 two thousand H505 and six H8337 hundred H3967 small cattle , and three H7969 hundred H3967 oxen. H1241
9 Conaniah H3562 also , and Shemaiah H8098 and Nethaneel, H5417 his brethren, H251 and Hashabiah H2811 and Jeiel H3273 and Jozabad, H3107 chief H8269 of the Levites, H3881 gave H7311 unto the Levites H3881 for passover offerings H6453 five H2568 thousand H505 small cattle , and five H2568 hundred H3967 oxen. H1241
10 So the service H5656 was prepared, H3559 and the priests H3548 stood H5975 in H5921 their place, H5977 and the Levites H3881 in H5921 their courses, H4256 according to the king's H4428 commandment. H4687
11 And they killed H7819 the passover, H6453 and the priests H3548 sprinkled H2236 the blood from their hands H4480 H3027 , and the Levites H3881 flayed H6584 them .
12 And they removed H5493 the burnt offerings, H5930 that they might give H5414 according to the divisions H4653 of the families H1004 H1 of the people H1121 H5971 , to offer H7126 unto the LORD, H3068 as it is written H3789 in the book H5612 of Moses. H4872 And so H3651 did they with the oxen. H1241
13 And they roasted H1310 the passover H6453 with fire H784 according to the ordinance: H4941 but the other holy H6944 offerings sod H1310 they in pots, H5518 and in caldrons, H1731 and in pans, H6745 and divided them speedily H7323 among all H3605 the people H1121 H5971 .
14 And afterward H310 they made ready H3559 for themselves , and for the priests: H3548 because H3588 the priests H3548 the sons H1121 of Aaron H175 were busied in offering H5927 of burnt offerings H5930 and the fat H2459 until H5704 night; H3915 therefore the Levites H3881 prepared H3559 for themselves , and for the priests H3548 the sons H1121 of Aaron. H175
15 And the singers H7891 the sons H1121 of Asaph H623 were in H5921 their place, H4612 according to the commandment H4687 of David, H1732 and Asaph, H623 and Heman, H1968 and Jeduthun H3038 the king's H4428 seer; H2374 and the porters H7778 waited at every gate H8179 H8179 ; they might not H369 depart H5493 from H4480 H5921 their service; H5656 for H3588 their brethren H251 the Levites H3881 prepared H3559 for them.
16 So all H3605 the service H5656 of the LORD H3068 was prepared H3559 the same H1931 day, H3117 to keep H6213 the passover, H6453 and to offer H5927 burnt offerings H5930 upon H5921 the altar H4196 of the LORD, H3068 according to the commandment H4687 of king H4428 Josiah. H2977
17 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 that were present H4672 kept H6213 H853 the passover H6453 at that H1931 time, H6256 and the feast H2282 of unleavened bread H4682 seven H7651 days. H3117
18 And there was no H3808 passover H6453 like to H3644 that kept H6213 in Israel H3478 from the days H4480 H3117 of Samuel H8050 the prophet; H5030 neither H3808 did H6213 all H3605 the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 keep H6213 such a passover H6453 as H834 Josiah H2977 kept, H6213 and the priests, H3548 and the Levites, H3881 and all H3605 Judah H3063 and Israel H3478 that were present, H4672 and the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem. H3389
19 In the eighteenth H8083 H6240 year H8141 of the reign H4438 of Josiah H2977 was this H2088 passover H6453 kept. H6213
20 After H310 all H3605 this, H2063 when H834 Josiah H2977 had prepared H3559 H853 the temple, H1004 Necho H5224 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 came up H5927 to fight H3898 against Carchemish H3751 by H5921 Euphrates: H6578 and Josiah H2977 went out H3318 against H7125 him.
21 But he sent H7971 ambassadors H4397 to H413 him, saying, H559 What H4100 have I to do with thee , thou king H4428 of Judah H3063 ? I come not H3808 against H5921 thee H859 this day, H3117 but H3588 against H413 the house H1004 wherewith I have war: H4421 for God H430 commanded H559 me to make haste: H926 forbear H2308 thee from meddling with God H4480 H430 , who H834 is with H5973 me , that he destroy H7843 thee not. H408
22 Nevertheless Josiah H2977 would not H3808 turn H5437 his face H6440 from H4480 him, but H3588 disguised himself, H2664 that he might fight H3898 with him , and hearkened H8085 not H3808 unto H413 the words H1697 of Necho H5224 from the mouth H4480 H6310 of God, H430 and came H935 to fight H3898 in the valley H1237 of Megiddo. H4023
23 And the archers H3384 shot H3384 at king H4428 Josiah; H2977 and the king H4428 said H559 to his servants, H5650 Have me away; H5674 for H3588 I am sore wounded H2470 H3966 .
24 His servants H5650 therefore took H5674 him out of H4480 that chariot, H4818 and put H7392 him in H5921 the second H4932 chariot H7393 that H834 he had ; and they brought H1980 him to Jerusalem, H3389 and he died, H4191 and was buried H6912 in one of the sepulchers H6913 of his fathers. H1 And all H3605 Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389 mourned H56 for H5921 Josiah. H2977
25 And Jeremiah H3414 lamented H6969 for H5921 Josiah: H2977 and all H3605 the singing men H7891 and the singing women H7891 spoke H559 of H5921 Josiah H2977 in their lamentations H7015 to H5704 this day, H3117 and made H5414 them an ordinance H2706 in H5921 Israel: H3478 and, behold, H2009 they are written H3789 in H5921 the lamentations. H7015
26 Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Josiah, H2977 and his goodness, H2617 according to that which was written H3789 in the law H8451 of the LORD, H3068
27 And his deeds, H1697 first H7223 and last, H314 behold, H2009 they are written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 and Judah. H3063
