Moreover JosiahH2977 keptH6213 a passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 in JerusalemH3389: and they killedH7819 the passoverH6453 on the fourteenthH702+H6240 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320.
And he setH5975 the priestsH3548 in their chargesH4931, and encouragedH2388 them to the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068,
And saidH559 unto the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995+H4000 all IsraelH3478, which were holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068, PutH5414 the holyH6944 arkH727 in the houseH1004 which SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 did buildH1129; it shall not be a burdenH4853 upon your shouldersH3802: serveH5647 now the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
And prepareH3559+H3559 yourselves by the housesH1004 of your fathersH1, after your coursesH4256, according to the writingH3791 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and according to the writingH4385 of SolomonH8010 his sonH1121.
And stand inH5975 the holyH6944 place according to the divisionsH6391 of the familiesH1004 of the fathersH1 of your brethrenH251 the peopleH1121+H5971, and after the divisionH2515 of the familiesH1+H1004 of the LevitesH3881. {the families of the fathers: Heb. the house of the fathers} {the people: Heb. the sons of the people}
So killH7819 the passoverH6453, and sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and prepareH3559 your brethrenH251, that they may doH6213 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And JosiahH2977 gaveH7311 to the peopleH1121+H5971, of the flockH6629, lambsH3532 and kidsH1121+H5795, all for the passover offeringsH6453, for all that were presentH4672, to the numberH4557 of thirtyH7970 thousandH505, and threeH7969 thousandH505 bullocksH1241: these were of the king'sH4428 substanceH7399. {gave: Heb. offered}
And his princesH8269 gaveH7311 willinglyH5071 unto the peopleH5971, to the priestsH3548, and to the LevitesH3881: HilkiahH2518 and ZechariahH2148 and JehielH3171, rulersH5057 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, gaveH5414 unto the priestsH3548 for the passover offeringsH6453 two thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967 small cattle, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 oxenH1241. {gave willingly: Heb. offered, etc}
ConaniahH3562 also, and ShemaiahH8098 and NethaneelH5417, his brethrenH251, and HashabiahH2811 and JeielH3273 and JozabadH3107, chiefH8269 of the LevitesH3881, gaveH7311 unto the LevitesH3881 for passover offeringsH6453 fiveH2568 thousandH505 small cattle, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 oxenH1241. {gave: Heb. offered}
So the serviceH5656 was preparedH3559, and the priestsH3548 stoodH5975 in their placeH5977, and the LevitesH3881 in their coursesH4256, according to the king'sH4428 commandmentH4687.
And they killedH7819 the passoverH6453, and the priestsH3548 sprinkledH2236 the blood from their handsH3027, and the LevitesH3881 flayedH6584 them.
And they removedH5493 the burnt offeringsH5930, that they might giveH5414 according to the divisionsH4653 of the familiesH1+H1004 of the peopleH1121+H5971, to offerH7126 unto the LORDH3068, as it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872. And so did they with the oxenH1241.
And they roastedH1310 the passoverH6453 with fireH784 according to the ordinanceH4941: but the other holyH6944 offerings sodH1310 they in potsH5518, and in caldronsH1731, and in pansH6745, and divided them speedilyH7323 among all the peopleH1121+H5971. {divided…: Heb. made them run}
And afterwardH310 they made readyH3559 for themselves, and for the priestsH3548: because the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 were busied in offeringH5927 of burnt offeringsH5930 and the fatH2459 until nightH3915; therefore the LevitesH3881 preparedH3559 for themselves, and for the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175.
And the singersH7891 the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 were in their placeH4612, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732, and AsaphH623, and HemanH1968, and JeduthunH3038 the king'sH4428 seerH2374; and the portersH7778 waited at every gateH8179; they might not departH5493 from their serviceH5656; for their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 preparedH3559 for them. {place: Heb. station}
So all the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 was preparedH3559 the same dayH3117, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453, and to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 upon the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, according to the commandmentH4687 of kingH4428 JosiahH2977.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 keptH6213 the passoverH6453 at that timeH6256, and the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117. {present: Heb. found}
And there was no passoverH6453 likeH3644 to that keptH6213 in IsraelH3478 from the daysH3117 of SamuelH8050 the prophetH5030; neither didH6213 all the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 keepH6213 such a passoverH6453 as JosiahH2977 keptH6213, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and all JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389. {present: Heb. found}
In the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of JosiahH2977 was this passoverH6453 keptH6213.
AfterH310 all this, when JosiahH2977 had preparedH3559 the templeH1004, NechoH5224 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927 to fightH3898 against CarchemishH3751 by EuphratesH6578: and JosiahH2977 went outH3318 againstH7125 him. {temple: Heb. house}
But he sentH7971 ambassadorsH4397 to him, sayingH559, What have I to do with thee, thou kingH4428 of JudahH3063? I come not against thee this dayH3117, but against the houseH1004 wherewith I have warH4421: for GodH430 commandedH559 me to make hasteH926: forbearH2308 thee from meddling with GodH430, who is with me, that he destroyH7843 thee not. {the house…: Heb. the house of my war}
Nevertheless JosiahH2977 would not turnH5437 his faceH6440 from him, but disguisedH2664 himself, that he might fightH3898 with him, and hearkenedH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of NechoH5224 from the mouthH6310 of GodH430, and cameH935 to fightH3898 in the valleyH1237 of MegiddoH4023.
And the archersH3384 shotH3384 at kingH4428 JosiahH2977; and the kingH4428 saidH559 to his servantsH5650, Have me awayH5674; for I am soreH3966 woundedH2470. {wounded: Heb. made sick}
His servantsH5650 therefore tookH5674 him out of that chariotH4818, and putH7392 him in the secondH4932 chariotH7393 that he had; and they broughtH3212 him to JerusalemH3389, and he diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in one of the sepulchresH6913 of his fathersH1. And all JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 mournedH56 for JosiahH2977. {in one…: or, among the sepulchres}
And JeremiahH3414 lamentedH6969 for JosiahH2977: and all the singing menH7891 and the singing womenH7891 spakeH559 of JosiahH2977 in their lamentationsH7015 to this dayH3117, and madeH5414 them an ordinanceH2706 in IsraelH3478: and, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the lamentationsH7015.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JosiahH2977, and his goodnessH2617, according to that which was writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, {goodness: Heb. kindnesses}
And his deedsH1697, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.
