2 Chronicles 35:17-27

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}

35:25

And Jeremiah
<03414>

lamented
<06969> (8787)

for Josiah
<02977>_:

and all the singing men
<07891> (8802)

and the singing women
<07891> (8802)

spake
<0559> (8799)

of Josiah
<02977>

in their lamentations
<07015>

to this day
<03117>_,

and made
<05414> (8799)

them an ordinance
<02706>

in Israel
<03478>_:

and, behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the lamentations
<07015>_.

35:26

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Josiah
<02977>_,

and his goodness
<02617>_,

according to [that which was] written
<03789> (8803)

in the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

{goodness: Heb. kindnesses}

35:27

And his deeds
<01697>_,

first
<07223>

and last
<0314>_,

behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

and Judah
<03063>_.
