* And Josiah performed a Passover in Jerusalem to Jehovah , and they killed the passover offering on the fourteenth of the first month . * And he made stand the priests over their charges , and made them strong for the service of the house of Jehovah , * and said to the Levites who were teaching all Israel , who were sanctified to Jehovah , Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon the son of David the king of Israel built ; it shall not be a burden on your shoulders . Now serve Jehovah your God , and His people Israel , * and prepare by the house of your fathers , according to your courses , by the writing of David the king of Israel , and by the writing of his son Solomon , * and stand in the sanctuary , by the divisions of the house of the fathers of your brothers , the sons of the people , and the portion of the house of the father of the Levites ; * and kill the passover offering and sanctify yourselves , and prepare for your brothers , to do according to the word of Jehovah , by the hand of Moses . * And Josiah lifted up to the sons of the people a flock of lambs and young goats , all for passover offerings , for everyone who was found , to the number of thirty thousand , and three thousand oxen ; these were from the king 's substance . * And his leaders lifted up for a freewill offering to the people , to the priests , and to the Levites : Hilkiah , and Zechariah , and Jehiel , rulers in the house of God , gave to the priest two thousand and six hundred for passover offerings , and three hundred oxen . * And Conaniah , and Shemaiah , and Nethaneel , his brothers ; and Hashabiah , and Jeiel , and Jozabad , chiefs of the Levites , lifted up to the Levites five thousand for passover offerings , and five hundred oxen . * And the service was prepared , and the priests stood in their place , and the Levites in their courses , according to the command of the king . * And they slaughtered the passover offering and the priests sprinkled out of their hand , and the Levites were stripping ; * and they removed the burnt offering , to distribute them by the divisions of the house of the fathers of the sons of the people , to offer to Jehovah , as it is written in the book of Moses , and so to the oxen . * And they roasted the passover with fire , according to the ordinance ; and they cooked the holy things in pots , and in kettles , and in pans , and carried to all the sons of the people . * And afterward they prepared for themselves , and for the priests ; for the priests , the sons of Aaron , were offering up the burnt offering and the fat until nightfall ; and the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests ; the sons of Aaron . * And the singers , the sons of Asaph , were in their place , according to David 's command , and Asaph , and Heman , and Jeduthun the seer of the king ; and the gatekeepers were at each gate ; it was not for them to depart from their service , for their brothers the Levites prepared for them . * And all the service of Jehovah was prepared on that day , to perform the Passover , and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of Jehovah , according to the command of king Josiah . * And the sons of Israel who were found performed the Passover at that time , and the Feast of Unleavened Bread , seven days . * And there had not been a Passover performed like it in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet ; yea , none of the kings of Israel performed such a Passover as Josiah performed , and the priests , and the Levites and all Judah and Israel who were found , and the inhabitants of Jerusalem . * ln the eighteenth year of the Josiah 's reign , this Passover was performed .
