2 Chronicles 35:1-24

35:1

Moreover Josiah
<02977>

kept
<06213> (8799)

a passover
<06453>

unto the LORD
<03068>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_:

and they killed
<07819> (8799)

the passover
<06453>

on the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

[day] of the first
<07223>

month
<02320>_.

35:2

And he set
<05975> (8686)

the priests
<03548>

in their charges
<04931>_,

and encouraged
<02388> (8762)

them to the service
<05656>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

35:3

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto the Levites
<03881>

that taught
<0995> (8688) (8675) <04000>

all Israel
<03478>_,

which were holy
<06918>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

Put
<05414> (8798)

the holy
<06944>

ark
<0727>

in the house
<01004>

which Solomon
<08010>

the son
<01121>

of David
<01732>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

did build
<01129> (8804)_;

[it shall] not [be] a burden
<04853>

upon [your] shoulders
<03802>_:

serve
<05647> (8798)

now the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

and his people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

35:4

And prepare
<03559> (8685) (8675) <03559> (8734)

[yourselves] by the houses
<01004>

of your fathers
<01>_,

after your courses
<04256>_,

according to the writing
<03791>

of David
<01732>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and according to the writing
<04385>

of Solomon
<08010>

his son
<01121>_.

35:5

And stand in
<05975> (8798)

the holy
<06944>

[place] according to the divisions
<06391>

of the families
<01004>

of the fathers
<01>

of your brethren
<0251>

the people
<01121> <05971>_,

and [after] the division
<02515>

of the families
<01> <01004>

of the Levites
<03881>_.

{the families of the fathers: Heb. the house of the fathers} {the people: Heb. the sons of the people}

35:6

So kill
<07819> (8798)

the passover
<06453>_,

and sanctify
<06942> (8690)

yourselves, and prepare
<03559> (8685)

your brethren
<0251>_,

that [they] may do
<06213> (8800)

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

by the hand
<03027>

of Moses
<04872>_.

35:7

And Josiah
<02977>

gave
<07311> (8686)

to the people
<01121> <05971>_,

of the flock
<06629>_,

lambs
<03532>

and kids
<01121> <05795>_,

all for the passover offerings
<06453>_,

for all that were present
<04672> (8737)_,

to the number
<04557>

of thirty
<07970>

thousand
<0505>_,

and three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

bullocks
<01241>_:

these [were] of the king's
<04428>

substance
<07399>_.

{gave: Heb. offered}

35:8

And his princes
<08269>

gave
<07311> (8689)

willingly
<05071>

unto the people
<05971>_,

to the priests
<03548>_,

and to the Levites
<03881>_:

Hilkiah
<02518>

and Zechariah
<02148>

and Jehiel
<03171>_,

rulers
<05057>

of the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

gave
<05414> (8804)

unto the priests
<03548>

for the passover offerings
<06453>

two thousand
<0505>

and six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

[small cattle], and three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

oxen
<01241>_.

{gave willingly: Heb. offered, etc}

35:9

Conaniah
<03562>

also, and Shemaiah
<08098>

and Nethaneel
<05417>_,

his brethren
<0251>_,

and Hashabiah
<02811>

and Jeiel
<03273>

and Jozabad
<03107>_,

chief
<08269>

of the Levites
<03881>_,

gave
<07311> (8689)

unto the Levites
<03881>

for passover offerings
<06453>

five
<02568>

thousand
<0505>

[small cattle], and five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

oxen
<01241>_.

{gave: Heb. offered}

35:10

So the service
<05656>

was prepared
<03559> (8735)_,

and the priests
<03548>

stood
<05975> (8799)

in their place
<05977>_,

and the Levites
<03881>

in their courses
<04256>_,

according to the king's
<04428>

commandment
<04687>_.

35:11

And they killed
<07819> (8799)

the passover
<06453>_,

and the priests
<03548>

sprinkled
<02236> (8799)

[the blood] from their hands
<03027>_,

and the Levites
<03881>

flayed
<06584> (8688)

[them].

35:12

And they removed
<05493> (8686)

the burnt offerings
<05930>_,

that they might give
<05414> (8800)

according to the divisions
<04653>

of the families
<01> <01004>

of the people
<01121> <05971>_,

to offer
<07126> (8687)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of Moses
<04872>_.

And so [did they] with the oxen
<01241>_.

35:13

And they roasted
<01310> (8762)

the passover
<06453>

with fire
<0784>

according to the ordinance
<04941>_:

but the [other] holy
<06944>

[offerings] sod
<01310> (8765)

they in pots
<05518>_,

and in caldrons
<01731>_,

and in pans
<06745>_,

and divided [them] speedily
<07323> (8686)

among all the people
<01121> <05971>_.

{divided...: Heb. made them run}

35:14

And afterward
<0310>

they made ready
<03559> (8689)

for themselves, and for the priests
<03548>_:

because the priests
<03548>

the sons
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>

[were busied] in offering
<05927> (8687)

of burnt offerings
<05930>

and the fat
<02459>

until night
<03915>_;

therefore the Levites
<03881>

prepared
<03559> (8689)

for themselves, and for the priests
<03548>

the sons
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>_.

35:15

And the singers
<07891> (8789)

the sons
<01121>

of Asaph
<0623>

[were] in their place
<04612>_,

according to the commandment
<04687>

of David
<01732>_,

and Asaph
<0623>_,

and Heman
<01968>_,

and Jeduthun
<03038>

the king's
<04428>

seer
<02374>_;

and the porters
<07778>

[waited] at every gate
<08179>_;

they might not depart
<05493> (8800)

from their service
<05656>_;

for their brethren
<0251>

the Levites
<03881>

prepared
<03559> (8689)

for them. {place: Heb. station}

35:16

So all the service
<05656>

of the LORD
<03068>

was prepared
<03559> (8735)

the same day
<03117>_,

to keep
<06213> (8800)

the passover
<06453>_,

and to offer
<05927> (8687)

burnt offerings
<05930>

upon the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

according to the commandment
<04687>

of king
<04428>

Josiah
<02977>_.

35:17

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

that were present
<04672> (8737)

kept
<06213> (8799)

the passover
<06453>

at that time
<06256>_,

and the feast
<02282>

of unleavened bread
<04682>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_.

{present: Heb. found}

35:18

And there was no passover
<06453>

like
<03644>

to that kept
<06213> (8738)

in Israel
<03478>

from the days
<03117>

of Samuel
<08050>

the prophet
<05030>_;

neither did
<06213> (8804)

all the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

keep
<06213> (8804)

such a passover
<06453>

as Josiah
<02977>

kept
<06213> (8804)_,

and the priests
<03548>_,

and the Levites
<03881>_,

and all Judah
<03063>

and Israel
<03478>

that were present
<04672> (8737)_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{present: Heb. found}

35:19

In the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>

year
<08141>

of the reign
<04438>

of Josiah
<02977>

was this passover
<06453>

kept
<06213> (8738)_.

35:20

After
<0310>

all this, when Josiah
<02977>

had prepared
<03559> (8689)

the temple
<01004>_,

Necho
<05224>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

came up
<05927> (8804)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against Carchemish
<03751>

by Euphrates
<06578>_:

and Josiah
<02977>

went out
<03318> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

him. {temple: Heb. house}

35:21

But he sent
<07971> (8799)

ambassadors
<04397>

to him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What have I to do with thee, thou king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

[I come] not against thee this day
<03117>_,

but against the house
<01004>

wherewith I have war
<04421>_:

for God
<0430>

commanded
<0559> (8804)

me to make haste
<0926> (8763)_:

forbear
<02308> (8798)

thee from [meddling with] God
<0430>_,

who [is] with me, that he destroy
<07843> (8686)

thee not. {the house...: Heb. the house of my war}

35:22

Nevertheless Josiah
<02977>

would not turn
<05437> (8689)

his face
<06440>

from him, but disguised
<02664> (8694)

himself, that he might fight
<03898> (8736)

with him, and hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto the words
<01697>

of Necho
<05224>

from the mouth
<06310>

of God
<0430>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

in the valley
<01237>

of Megiddo
<04023>_.

35:23

And the archers
<03384> (8802)

shot
<03384> (8686)

at king
<04428>

Josiah
<02977>_;

and the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to his servants
<05650>_,

Have me away
<05674> (8685)_;

for I am sore
<03966>

wounded
<02470> (8717)_.

{wounded: Heb. made sick}

35:24

His servants
<05650>

therefore took
<05674> (8686)

him out of that chariot
<04818>_,

and put
<07392> (8686)

him in the second
<04932>

chariot
<07393>

that he had; and they brought
<03212> (8686)

him to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and he died
<04191> (8799)_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

in [one of] the sepulchres
<06913>

of his fathers
<01>_.

And all Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>

mourned
<056> (8693)

for Josiah
<02977>_.

{in one...: or, among the sepulchres}
