2nd Chronicles Chapter 35 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Moreover Josiah <H2977> kept <H6213> a passover <H6453> unto the LORD <H3068> in Jerusalem: <H3389> and they killed <H7819> the passover <H6453> on the fourteenth <H0702> <H6240> [day] of the first <H7223> month. <H2320>
2: And he set <H5975> the priests <H3548> in their charges, <H4931> and encouraged <H2388> them to the service <H5656> of the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068>
3: And said <H0559> unto the Levites <H3881> that taught <H0995> all Israel, <H3478> which were holy <H6918> unto the LORD, <H3068> Put <H5414> the holy <H6944> ark <H0727> in the house <H1004> which Solomon <H8010> the son <H1121> of David <H1732> king <H4428> of Israel <H3478> did build; <H1129> [it shall] not [be] a burden <H4853> upon [your] shoulders: <H3802> serve <H5647> now the LORD <H3068> your God, <H0430> and his people <H5971> Israel, <H3478>
4: And prepare <H3559> [yourselves] by the houses <H1004> of your fathers, <H0001> after your courses, <H4256> according to the writing <H3791> of David <H1732> king <H4428> of Israel, <H3478> and according to the writing <H4385> of Solomon <H8010> his son. <H1121>
5: And stand <H5975> in the holy <H6944> [place] according to the divisions <H6391> of the families <H1004> of the fathers <H0001> of your brethren <H0251> the people, <H1121> <H5971> and [after] the division <H2515> of the families <H0001> <H1004> of the Levites. <H3881>
6: So kill <H7819> the passover, <H6453> and sanctify <H6942> yourselves, and prepare <H3559> your brethren, <H0251> that [they] may do <H6213> according to the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> by the hand <H3027> of Moses. <H4872>
7: And Josiah <H2977> gave <H7311> to the people, <H1121> <H5971> of the flock, <H6629> lambs <H3532> and kids, <H1121> <H5795> all for the passover offerings, <H6453> for all that were present, <H4672> to the number <H4557> of thirty <H7970> thousand, <H0505> and three <H7969> thousand <H0505> bullocks: <H1241> these [were] of the king's <H4428> substance. <H7399>
8: And his princes <H8269> gave <H7311> willingly <H5071> unto the people, <H5971> to the priests, <H3548> and to the Levites: <H3881> Hilkiah <H2518> and Zechariah <H2148> and Jehiel, <H3171> rulers <H5057> of the house <H1004> of God, <H0430> gave <H5414> unto the priests <H3548> for the passover offerings <H6453> two thousand <H0505> and six <H8337> hundred <H3967> [small cattle], and three <H7969> hundred <H3967> oxen. <H1241>
9: Conaniah <H3562> also, and Shemaiah <H8098> and Nethaneel, <H5417> his brethren, <H0251> and Hashabiah <H2811> and Jeiel <H3273> and Jozabad, <H3107> chief <H8269> of the Levites, <H3881> gave <H7311> unto the Levites <H3881> for passover offerings <H6453> five <H2568> thousand <H0505> [small cattle], and five <H2568> hundred <H3967> oxen. <H1241>
10: So the service <H5656> was prepared, <H3559> and the priests <H3548> stood <H5975> in their place, <H5977> and the Levites <H3881> in their courses, <H4256> according to the king's <H4428> commandment. <H4687>
11: And they killed <H7819> the passover, <H6453> and the priests <H3548> sprinkled <H2236> [the blood] from their hands, <H3027> and the Levites <H3881> flayed <H6584> [them].
12: And they removed <H5493> the burnt offerings, <H5930> that they might give <H5414> according to the divisions <H4653> of the families <H0001> <H1004> of the people, <H1121> <H5971> to offer <H7126> unto the LORD, <H3068> as [it is] written <H3789> in the book <H5612> of Moses. <H4872> And so [did they] with the oxen. <H1241>
13: And they roasted <H1310> the passover <H6453> with fire <H0784> according to the ordinance: <H4941> but the [other] holy <H6944> [offerings] sod <H1310> they in pots, <H5518> and in caldrons, <H1731> and in pans, <H6745> and divided [them] speedily <H7323> among all the people. <H1121> <H5971>
14: And afterward <H0310> they made ready <H3559> for themselves, and for the priests: <H3548> because the priests <H3548> the sons <H1121> of Aaron <H0175> [were busied] in offering <H5927> of burnt offerings <H5930> and the fat <H2459> until night; <H3915> therefore the Levites <H3881> prepared <H3559> for themselves, and for the priests <H3548> the sons <H1121> of Aaron. <H0175>
15: And the singers <H7891> the sons <H1121> of Asaph <H0623> [were] in their place, <H4612> according to the commandment <H4687> of David, <H1732> and Asaph, <H0623> and Heman, <H1968> and Jeduthun <H3038> the king's <H4428> seer; <H2374> and the porters <H7778> [waited] at every gate; <H8179> <H8179> they might not depart <H5493> from their service; <H5656> for their brethren <H0251> the Levites <H3881> prepared <H3559> for them.
16: So all the service <H5656> of the LORD <H3068> was prepared <H3559> the same day, <H3117> to keep <H6213> the passover, <H6453> and to offer <H5927> burnt offerings <H5930> upon the altar <H4196> of the LORD, <H3068> according to the commandment <H4687> of king <H4428> Josiah. <H2977>
17: And the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> that were present <H4672> kept <H6213> the passover <H6453> at that time, <H6256> and the feast <H2282> of unleavened bread <H4682> seven <H7651> days. <H3117>
18: And there was no passover <H6453> like <H3644> to that kept <H6213> in Israel <H3478> from the days <H3117> of Samuel <H8050> the prophet; <H5030> neither did <H6213> all the kings <H4428> of Israel <H3478> keep <H6213> such a passover <H6453> as Josiah <H2977> kept, <H6213> and the priests, <H3548> and the Levites, <H3881> and all Judah <H3063> and Israel <H3478> that were present, <H4672> and the inhabitants <H3427> of Jerusalem. <H3389>
19: In the eighteenth <H8083> <H6240> year <H8141> of the reign <H4438> of Josiah <H2977> was this passover <H6453> kept. <H6213>
20: After <H0310> all this, when Josiah <H2977> had prepared <H3559> the temple, <H1004> Necho <H5224> king <H4428> of Egypt <H4714> came up <H5927> to fight <H3898> against Carchemish <H3751> by Euphrates: <H6578> and Josiah <H2977> went out <H3318> against <H7125> him.
21: But he sent <H7971> ambassadors <H4397> to him, saying, <H0559> What have I to do with thee, thou king <H4428> of Judah? <H3063> [I come] not against thee this day, <H3117> but against the house <H1004> wherewith I have war: <H4421> for God <H0430> commanded <H0559> me to make haste: <H0926> forbear <H2308> thee from [meddling with] God, <H0430> who [is] with me, that he destroy <H7843> thee not.
22: Nevertheless Josiah <H2977> would not turn <H5437> his face <H6440> from him, but disguised <H2664> himself, that he might fight <H3898> with him, and hearkened <H8085> not unto the words <H1697> of Necho <H5224> from the mouth <H6310> of God, <H0430> and came <H0935> to fight <H3898> in the valley <H1237> of Megiddo. <H4023>
23: And the archers <H3384> shot <H3384> at king <H4428> Josiah; <H2977> and the king <H4428> said <H0559> to his servants, <H5650> Have me away; <H5674> for I am sore <H3966> wounded. <H2470>
24: His servants <H5650> therefore took <H5674> him out of that chariot, <H4818> and put <H7392> him in the second <H4932> chariot <H7393> that he had; and they brought <H3212> him to Jerusalem, <H3389> and he died, <H4191> and was buried <H6912> in [one of] the sepulchres <H6913> of his fathers. <H0001> And all Judah <H3063> and Jerusalem <H3389> mourned <H0056> for Josiah. <H2977>
25: And Jeremiah <H3414> lamented <H6969> for Josiah: <H2977> and all the singing <H7891> men and the singing <H7891> women spake <H0559> of Josiah <H2977> in their lamentations <H7015> to this day, <H3117> and made <H5414> them an ordinance <H2706> in Israel: <H3478> and, behold, they [are] written <H3789> in the lamentations. <H7015>
26: Now the rest <H3499> of the acts <H1697> of Josiah, <H2977> and his goodness, <H2617> according to [that which was] written <H3789> in the law <H8451> of the LORD, <H3068>
27: And his deeds, <H1697> first <H7223> and last, <H0314> behold, they [are] written <H3789> in the book <H5612> of the kings <H4428> of Israel <H3478> and Judah. <H3063>
