| 3 | He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to Yahweh, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; there shall no more be a burden on your shoulders: now serve Yahweh your God, and his people Israel. | 2Ch 17:8 2Ch 17:9 2Ch 30:22 Dt 33:10 Ne 8:7 Ne 8:8 Mal 2:7 |
| 4 | Prepare yourselves after your fathers` houses by your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son. | 1Ch 9:10-34 Ne 11:10-20 |
| 5 | Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers` houses of your brothers the children of the people, and [let there be for each] a portion of a fathers` house of the Levites. | Ps 134:1 Ps 135:2 |
| 6 | Kill the Passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of Yahweh by Moses. | 2Ch 30:15-17 Ex 12:6 Ex 12:21 Ex 12:22 Ezr 6:20 Ezr 6:21 |
| 7 | Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all of them for the Passover-offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls: these were of the king`s substance. | 2Ch 7:8-10 2Ch 30:24 Isa 32:8 Ezk 45:17 |
| 8 | His princes gave for a freewill- offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred [small cattle], and three hundred oxen. | 2Ch 29:31-33 1Ch 29:6-9 1Ch 29:17-9 Ezr 1:6 Ezr 2:68 Ezr 2:69 Ezr 7:16 Ezr 8:25-35 Ne 7:70-72 Ps 45:12 Ac 2:44 Ac 2:45 Ac 4:34 Ac 4:35 |
| 9 | Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover-offerings five thousand [small cattle], and five hundred oxen. | Isa 1:10-15 Jer 3:10 Jer 7:21-28 Mic 6:6-8 |
| 10 | So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their courses, according to the king`s commandment. | 2Ch 35:4 2Ch 35:5 2Ch 30:16 Ezr 6:18 |
| 11 | They killed the Passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood which they received] of their hand, and the Levites flayed them. | 2Ch 29:22-24 2Ch 30:16 Lv 1:5 Lv 1:6 Nm 18:3 Nm 18:7 Heb 9:21 Heb 9:22 |
| 12 | They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers` houses of the children of the people, to offer to Yahweh, as it is written in the book of Moses. So did they with the oxen. | Lv 3:3 Lv 3:5 Lv 3:9-11 Lv 3:14-16 |
| 13 | They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people. | Ex 12:8 Ex 12:9 Dt 16:7 Ps 22:14 Lam 1:12 Lam 1:13 |
| 14 | Afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron [were busied] in offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron. | Ac 6:2-4 |
| 15 | The singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king`s seer; and the porters were at every gate: they didn`t need to depart from their service; for their brothers the Levites prepared for them. | 2Ch 29:25 2Ch 29:26 1Ch 16:41 1Ch 16:42 1Ch 23:5 1Ch 25:1-7 Ps 77:1 Ps 78:1 Ps 79:1 |
| 16 | So all the service of Yahweh was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt-offerings on the altar of Yahweh, according to the commandment of king Josiah. |
| 17 | The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. | 2Ch 30:21-23 Ex 12:15-20 Ex 13:6 Ex 13:7 Ex 23:15 Ex 34:18 Lv 23:5-8 Nm 28:16-25 Dt 16:3 Dt 16:4 Dt 16:8 1Co 5:7 1Co 5:8 |
| 18 | There was no Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. | 2Ch 30:5 2Ki 23:21-23 |
| 19 | In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept. |
| 20 | After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him. | 2Ki 23:29 2Ki 23:30 |
| 21 | But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? [I come] not against you this day, but against the house with which I have war; and God has commanded me to make haste: forbear you from [meddling with] God, who is with me, that he not destroy you. | 2Sa 16:10 Mt 8:29 Jn 2:4 |
| 22 | Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and didn`t listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo. | 2Ch 18:29 1Ki 14:2 1Ki 22:30 1Ki 22:34 |
| 23 | The archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded. | 2Ch 18:33 Gn 49:23 2Ki 9:24 Lam 3:13 |
| 24 | So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah. | Gn 41:43 |
| 25 | Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations. | Jer 22:10 Lam 4:20 |
| 26 | Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Yahweh, | 2Ch 31:20 2Ch 32:32 |
| 27 | and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. | 2Ch 20:34 2Ch 24:27 2Ch 25:26 2Ch 26:22 2Ch 32:32 2Ch 33:19 2Ki 10:34 2Ki 16:19 2Ki 20:20 2Ki 21:25 |
