V.1 Moreover Josiah 2977 kept 6213-4 a passover 6453 unto the LORD 3068 in Jerusalem: 3389 and they killed 7819-4 the passover 6453 on the fourteenth 702 6240 [day] of the first 7223 month. 2320

35:2 And he set 5975-55 the priests 3548 in their charges, 4931 and encouraged 2388-17 them to the service 5656 of the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068

35:3 And said 559-4 unto the Levites 3881 that taught 995- 56|4000-k all Israel, 3478 which were holy 6918 unto the LORD, 3068 Put 5414-3 the holy 6944 ark 727 in the house 1004 which Solomon 8010 the son 1121 of David 1732 king 4428 of Israel 3478 did build; 1129-1 [it shall] not [be] a burden 4853 upon [your] shoulders: 3802 serve 5647-3 now the LORD 3068 your God, 430 and his people 5971 Israel, 3478

35:4 And prepare 3559-54|3559-10-k [yourselves] by the houses 1004 of your fathers, 1 after your courses, 4256 according to the writing 3791 of David 1732 king 4428 of Israel, 3478 and according to the writing 4385 of Solomon 8010 his son. 1121

35:5 And stand 5975-3 in the holy 6944 [place] according to the divisions 6391 of the families 1004 of the fathers 1 of your brethren 251 the people, 1121 5971 and [after] the division 2515 of the families 1 1004 of the Levites. 3881

35:6 So kill 7819-3 the passover, 6453 and sanctify 6942-100 yourselves, and prepare 3559-54 your brethren, 251 that [they] may do 6213-2 according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 by the hand 3027 of Moses. 4872

35:7 And Josiah 2977 gave 7311-55 to the people, 1121 5971 of the flock, 6629 lambs 3532 and kids, 1121 5795 all for the passover offerings, 6453 for all that were present, 4672-12 to the number 4557 of thirty 7970 thousand, 505 and three 7969 thousand 505 bullocks: 1241 these [were] of the king's 4428 substance. 7399

35:8 And his princes 8269 gave 7311-52 willingly 5071 unto the people, 5971 to the priests, 3548 and to the Levites: 3881 Hilkiah 2518 and Zechariah 2148 and Jehiel, 3171 rulers 5057 of the house 1004 of God, 430 gave 5414-1 unto the priests 3548 for the passover offerings 6453 two thousand 505 and six 8337 hundred 3967 [small cattle], and three 7969 hundred 3967 oxen. 1241

35:9 Conaniah 3562 also, and Shemaiah 8098 and Nethaneel, 5417 his brethren, 251 and Hashabiah 2811 and Jeiel 3273 and Jozabad, 3107 chief 8269 of the Levites, 3881 gave 7311-52 unto the Levites 3881 for passover offerings 6453 five 2568 thousand 505 [small cattle], and five 2568 hundred 3967 oxen. 1241

35:10 So the service 5656 was prepared, 3559-11 and the priests 3548 stood 5975-4 in their place, 5977 and the Levites 3881 in their courses, 4256 according to the king's 4428 commandment. 4687

35:11 And they killed 7819-4 the passover, 6453 and the priests 3548 sprinkled 2236-4 [the blood] from their hands, 3027 and the Levites 3881 flayed 6584-56 [them].

35:12 And they removed 5493-55 the burnt offerings, 5930 that they might give 5414-2 according to the divisions 4653 of the families 1 1004 of the people, 1121 5971 to offer 7126-53 unto the LORD, 3068 as [it is] written 3789-7 in the book 5612 of Moses. 4872 And so [did they] with the oxen. 1241

35:13 And they roasted 1310-17 the passover 6453 with fire 784 according to the ordinance: 4941 but the [other] holy 6944 [offerings] sod 1310-14 they in pots, 5518 and in caldrons, 1731 and in pans, 6745 and divided [them] speedily 7323-55 among all the people. 1121 5971

35:14 And afterward 310 they made ready 3559-52 for themselves, and for the priests: 3548 because the priests 3548 the sons 1121 of Aaron 175 [were busied] in offering 5927-53 of burnt offerings 5930 and the fat 2459 until night; 3915 therefore the Levites 3881 prepared 3559-52 for themselves, and for the priests 3548 the sons 1121 of Aaron. 175

35:15 And the singers 7891-35 the sons 1121 of Asaph 623 [were] in their place, 4612 according to the commandment 4687 of David, 1732 and Asaph, 623 and Heman, 1968 and Jeduthun 3038 the king's 4428 seer; 2374 and the porters 7778 [waited] at every gate; 8179 8179 they might not depart 5493-2 from their service; 5656 for their brethren 251 the Levites 3881 prepared 3559-52 for them.

35:16 So all the service 5656 of the LORD 3068 was prepared 3559-11 the same day, 3117 to keep 6213-2 the passover, 6453 and to offer 5927-53 burnt offerings 5930 upon the altar 4196 of the LORD, 3068 according to the commandment 4687 of king 4428 Josiah. 2977

35:17 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 that were present 4672-12 kept 6213-4 the passover 6453 at that time, 6256 and the feast 2282 of unleavened bread 4682 seven 7651 days. 3117

35:18 And there was no passover 6453 like 3644 to that kept 6213-8 in Israel 3478 from the days 3117 of Samuel 8050 the prophet; 5030 neither did 6213-1 all the kings 4428 of Israel 3478 keep 6213-1 such a passover 6453 as Josiah 2977 kept, 6213-1 and the priests, 3548 and the Levites, 3881 and all Judah 3063 and Israel 3478 that were present, 4672-12 and the inhabitants 3427-6 of Jerusalem. 3389

35:19 In the eighteenth 8083 6240 year 8141 of the reign 4438 of Josiah 2977 was this passover 6453 kept. 6213-8

35:20 After 310 all this, when Josiah 2977 had prepared 3559- 52 the temple, 1004 Necho 5224 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 came up 5927-1 to fight 3898-9 against Carchemish 3751 by Euphrates: 6578 and Josiah 2977 went out 3318-4 against 7125- 2 him.

35:21 But he sent 7971-4 ambassadors 4397 to him, saying, 559-2 What have I to do with thee, thou king 4428 of Judah? 3063 [I come] not against thee this day, 3117 but against the house 1004 wherewith I have war: 4421 for God 430 commanded 559-1 me to make haste: 926-15 forbear 2308-3 thee from [meddling with] God, 430 who [is] with me, that he destroy 7843-55 thee not.

35:22 Nevertheless Josiah 2977 would not turn 5437-52 his face 6440 from him, but disguised 2664-98 himself, that he might fight 3898-9 with him, and hearkened 8085-1 not unto the words 1697 of Necho 5224 from the mouth 6310 of God, 430 and came 935-4 to fight 3898-9 in the valley 1237 of Megiddo. 4023

35:23 And the archers 3384-6 shot 3384-55 at king 4428 Josiah; 2977 and the king 4428 said 559-4 to his servants, 5650 Have me away; 5674-54 for I am sore 3966 wounded. 2470- 90

35:24 His servants 5650 therefore took 5674-55 him out of that chariot, 4818 and put 7392-55 him in the second 4932 chariot 7393 that he had; and they brought 3212-55 him to Jerusalem, 3389 and he died, 4191-4 and was buried 6912-11 in [one of] the sepulchres 6913 of his fathers. 1 And all Judah 3063 and Jerusalem 3389 mourned 56-102 for Josiah. 2977

35:25 And Jeremiah 3414 lamented 6969-34 for Josiah: 2977 and all the singing 7891-6 men and the singing 7891-6 women spake 559-4 of Josiah 2977 in their lamentations 7015 to this day, 3117 and made 5414-4 them an ordinance 2706 in Israel: 3478 and, behold, they [are] written 3789-7 in the lamentations. 7015

35:26 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Josiah, 2977 and his goodness, 2617 according to [that which was] written 3789-7 in the law 8451 of the LORD, 3068
