From
his
own
flocks
and herds
Josiah contributed
30,000
lambs and goats plus
3
, 000
bulls
for
the Passover offerings for all
the
people
who were
present
.
And Josiah lifteth
up
to
the
sons
of
the
people
a
flock
of
lambs and young
goats, the whole
for
passover -
offerings ,
for every
one
who is
found,
to
the
number
of
thirty
thousand,
and
oxen
three
thousand:
these
`are'
from
the
substance
of
the
king
.
His officials
also
contributed
willingly
to the people and
priests and Levites .
Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the
administrators
of
the house of God, gave
the priests 2,600
Passover offerings and 300
bulls.
And
his heads,
for
a
willing-offering
to the people ,
to
the
priests ,
and to
the
Levites ,
have
lifted
up;
Hilkiah, and
Zechariah, and Jehiel, leaders
in
the house of God, to
the priests have
given
for
passover -
offerings two
thousand
and six
hundred,
and
oxen
three
hundred;
Additionally,
Conaniah and his
brothers
Shemaiah and Nethanel
, as
well
as
Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, officers
of the Levites, donated
to the Levites 5
, 000
Passover offerings and 500
bulls
.
and
Conaniah ,
and Shemaiah ,
and Nethaneel
, his
brethren,
and
Hashabiah, and
Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads
of the Levites, have
lifted
up
to the Levites, for
passover -
offerings ,
five
thousand,
and oxen
five
hundred
.
So
the service was
prepared ;
the priests stood
in
their places
and the Levites in
their divisions
according to the king’s
command .
And
the service is
prepared ,
and
the priests stand
on
their station,
and the Levites on
their courses,
according to the command of
the
king,
And they slaughtered
the Passover lambs
, while
the priests sprinkled
the
blood
handed
to
them
and the Levites skinned
the
animals.
and they slaughter
the passover -offering
, and
the priests sprinkle
out
of
their
hand,
and the Levites are
striping;
They set
aside the burnt offerings
to
be
given
to the divisions of the families
of the people to offer
to the
LORD
, as is written in the Book of Moses ;
and they
did
the
same
with
the bulls
.
and
they turn
aside the burnt -offering,
to put
them
by
the divisions of the house
of the fathers
of
the
sons
of
the
people ,
to bring
near
to Jehovah
, as it
is written in the book of Moses --
and so
to
the oxen
.
They roasted
the Passover animals
on
the
fire according to the regulation
, and they
boiled
the other
holy
offerings
in pots, kettles, and bowls
and
quickly
brought
them
to
all the people.
And
they cook
the passover with
fire ,
according to the ordinance
, and the sanctified
things
they
have
cooked
in pots, and
in
kettles, and in
pans
--
for
all the sons
of
the
people.
Afterward ,
they made
preparations
for themselves and for the priests ,
since
the priests, the
descendants
of Aaron, were
offering up burnt offerings
and fat until
nightfall.
So
the Levites made
preparations
for themselves and for the priests, the
descendants
of Aaron.
And
afterward they have
prepared
for themselves ,
and for the priests :
for
the priests, sons
of Aaron, `are'
in
the
offering up of
the
burnt -offering
and of
the
fat till
night;
and
the Levites have
prepared
for themselves ,
and for the priests, sons
of Aaron.
The singers, the
descendants
of Asaph, were
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 need
to leave
their position
, because
their fellow
Levites made
preparations
for them.
And
the singers, sons
of Asaph, `are'
on
their station,
according to the command of David, and
Asaph, and
Heman, and Jeduthun seer of
the
king,
and the gate
keepers
`are'
at gate and
gate;
it
is
not for
them
to turn
aside
from
off
their service
, for
their brethren
the
Levites have
prepared
for them.
So
on
that
day
the entire
service of the
LORD
was
carried
out
for
celebrating
the Passover and offering
burnt offerings
on
the altar of the
LORD
, according to the command of King Josiah.
And
all
the service of Jehovah
is
prepared
on
that
day,
to
keep
the passover ,
and to
cause
to
ascend
burnt -offering
upon
the altar of Jehovah
, according to the command of king Josiah.
The Israelites
who were
present
also
observed
the Passover at that time, as
well
as
the Feast of Unleavened Bread
for
seven days.
And
the sons
of
Israel
who are
found
make
the passover at that time, and
the feast of unleavened things,
seven days.
No
such
Passover
had
been observed
in Israel since
the days of Samuel the prophet .
None of the kings of Israel ever
observed
a Passover like
the
one
that
Josiah observed
with
the priests, the Levites, all Judah ,
the
Israelites
who were
present
, and the people
of Jerusalem.
And
there
hath
not
been made
a
passover
like
it
in Israel from
the days of Samuel the prophet ,
and
none of the kings of Israel made
such
a passover as
Josiah hath
made,
and
the priests, and
the Levites, and
all Judah and
Israel
who are
found
, and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem.
In the eighteenth year of Josiah’s
reign ,
this Passover was
observed
.
In the eighteenth year of the
reign of
Josiah
hath
this passover been
made
.
After all this, when Josiah had
set
the temple
in
order
, Neco
king of Egypt marched
up
to fight at
Carchemish by the
Euphrates
, and Josiah went
out
to confront
him .
After all this, when Josiah hath
prepared
the house
, come
up
hath
Necho
king of Egypt ,
to fight against
Carchemish by Phrat
, and Josiah goeth
forth
to meet
him ;
But
Neco
sent
messengers
to
him, saying, “
What is
the
issue
between
you
and
me, O king of Judah? I
have
not come
against you
today
, but I am
fighting
another
dynasty.
God told
me
to hurry
; so
stop
opposing
God ,
who is with me, or
He will
destroy you!”
and
he
sendeth
unto
him messengers
, saying, `
What --
to
me and
to
thee
, O king of Judah? not against thee
do
I
come
to-day
, but unto
the
house
with
which
I have
war,
and
God said
to haste
me
; cease
for
thee
from
God who `
is '
with me, and
He doth
not
destroy thee.'
Josiah ,
however,
did
not turn
away
from him ;
instead
, in
order
to engage
him in
battle,
he
disguised himself .
He
did
not listen
to
Neco’s
words from the mouth of God, but
went
to fight him
on
the Plain
of Megiddo .
And
Josiah hath
not turned
round
his
face
from him, but
to fight
against
him hath
disguised himself ,
and
hath
not hearkened
unto
the
words of
Necho,
from the mouth of God, and
cometh
in
to fight in
the valley
of Megiddo ;
There
the archers shot
King Josiah, who
said
to his servants, “Take
me away
, for I am
badly
wounded!”
and
the archers shoot
at
king Josiah, and
the
king
saith
to his servants, `Remove
me, for I have
become
very
sick.'
So
his servants took
him out
of
his
chariot, put
him in
his
second chariot, and brought
him to Jerusalem, where
he died.
And Josiah
was
buried in the tomb
of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned
for him.
And
his servants remove
him from
the
chariot, and
cause
him to
ride
on
the
second chariot that
he
hath
, and cause
him to go
to
Jerusalem, and
he dieth,
and is
buried in the graves
of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem are
mourning
for Josiah,
Then
Jeremiah lamented
over
Josiah, and to
this
day
all the choirs
of
men
and women
sing
laments
over
Josiah .
They
established
them as
a statute for
Israel, and indeed
they are written in
the Book
of
Laments
.
and
Jeremiah lamenteth
for
Josiah, and all the singers
and the
songstresses
speak
in
their
lamentations
of
Josiah unto
this
day,
and
set
them for
a statute on
Israel, and lo,
they are written beside
the lamentations
.
As
for
the rest of the acts
of Josiah, along
with
his deeds
of
loving
devotion
according to
what
is written in the Law of the
LORD—
And
the rest of the matters
of Josiah, and
his kind
acts,
according as
it
is written in the law of Jehovah,
his acts
from
beginning
to
end—
they are indeed
written in
the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
even
his matters,
the
first
and
the
last,
lo,
they are written on
the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
