[1]And Josiah kept a passover unto ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ in Jerusalem; and they killed the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the first month. [1]Moreover JosiahH2977 keptH6213[H8799] a passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 in JerusalemH3389: and they killedH7819[H8799] the passoverH6453 on the fourteenthH702[H6240] day of the firstH7223 monthH2320.
[2]And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎. [2]And he setH5975[H8686] the priestsH3548 in their chargesH4931, and encouragedH2388[H8762] them to the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068,
[3]And he said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, that were holy unto ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎: '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 upon your shoulders; now serve ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ your God, and His people Israel. [3]And saidH559[H8799] unto the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995[H8688][H8675][H4000] all IsraelH3478, which were holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068, PutH5414[H8798] the holyH6944 arkH727 in the houseH1004 which SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 did buildH1129[H8804]; it shall not be a burdenH4853 upon your shouldersH3802: serveH5647[H8798] now the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
[4]And prepare ye 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. [4]And prepareH3559[H8685][H8675][H3559][H8734] yourselves by the housesH1004 of your fathersH1, after your coursesH4256, according to the writingH3791 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and according to the writingH4385 of SolomonH8010 his sonH1121.
[5]And stand in the holy pl according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of your brethren the children of the people, and let there be for each a portion of a father's house of the Levites. [5]And stand inH5975[H8798] the holyH6944 place according to the divisionsH6391 of the familiesH1004 of the fathersH1 of your brethrenH251 the peopleH1121[H5971], and after the divisionH2515 of the familiesH1[H1004] of the LevitesH3881.
[6]And kill the passover lamb, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ by the hand of Moses.' [6]So killH7819[H8798] the passoverH6453, and sanctifyH6942[H8690] yourselves, and prepareH3559[H8685] your brethrenH251, that they may doH6213[H8800] according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
[7]And Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all of them for the passover-offerings, unto all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks; these were of the king's substance. [7]And JosiahH2977 gaveH7311[H8686] to the peopleH1121[H5971], of the flockH6629, lambsH3532 and kidsH1121[H5795], all for the passover offeringsH6453, for all that were presentH4672[H8737], to the numberH4557 of thirtyH7970 thousandH505, and threeH7969 thousandH505 bullocksH1241: these were of the king'sH4428 substanceH7399.
[8]And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen. [8]And his princesH8269 gaveH7311[H8689] willinglyH5071 unto the peopleH5971, to the priestsH3548, and to the LevitesH3881: HilkiahH2518 and ZechariahH2148 and JehielH3171, rulersH5057 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, gaveH5414[H8804] unto the priestsH3548 for the passover offeringsH6453 two thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967 small cattle, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 oxenH1241.
[9]Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen. [9]ConaniahH3562 also, and ShemaiahH8098 and NethaneelH5417, his brethrenH251, and HashabiahH2811 and JeielH3273 and JozabadH3107, chiefH8269 of the LevitesH3881, gaveH7311[H8689] unto the LevitesH3881 for passover offeringsH6453 fiveH2568 thousandH505 small cattle, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 oxenH1241.
[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. [10]So the serviceH5656 was preparedH3559[H8735], and the priestsH3548 stoodH5975[H8799] in their placeH5977, and the LevitesH3881 in their coursesH4256, according to the king'sH4428 commandmentH4687.
[11]And they killed the passover lamb, and the priests dashed the blood, which they received of their hand, and the Levites flayed them. [11]And they killedH7819[H8799] the passoverH6453, and the priestsH3548 sprinkledH2236[H8799] the blood from their handsH3027, and the LevitesH3881 flayedH6584 themH8688.
[12]And they removed the portions that were to be burnt, that they might give them to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to present unto ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen. [12]And they removedH5493[H8686] the burnt offeringsH5930, that they might giveH5414[H8800] according to the divisionsH4653 of the familiesH1[H1004] of the peopleH1121[H5971], to offerH7126[H8687] unto the LORDH3068, as it is writtenH3789[H8803] in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872. And so did they with the oxenH1241.
[13]And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and the holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people. [13]And they roastedH1310[H8762] the passoverH6453 with fireH784 according to the ordinanceH4941: but the other holyH6944 offerings sodH1310[H8765] they in potsH5518, and in caldronsH1731, and in pansH6745, and divided them speedilyH7323[H8686] among all the peopleH1121.[H5971]
[14]And afterward they prepared themselves, and for the priests; because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering the portions that were to be burnt and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron. [14]And afterwardH310 they made readyH3559[H8689] for themselves, and for the priestsH3548: because the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 were busied in offeringH5927[H8687] of burnt offeringsH5930 and the fatH2459 until nightH3915; therefore the LevitesH3881 preparedH3559[H8689] for themselves, and for the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175.
[15]And 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 needed not to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them. [15]And the singersH7891[H8789] the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 were in their placeH4612, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732, and AsaphH623, and HemanH1968, and JeduthunH3038 the king'sH4428 seerH2374; and the portersH7778 waited at every gateH8179; they might not departH5493[H8800] from their serviceH5656; for their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 preparedH3559 for themH8689.
[16]So all the service of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings upon the altar of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, according to the commandment of king Josiah. [16]So all the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 was preparedH3559[H8735] the same dayH3117, to keepH6213[H8800] the passoverH6453, and to offerH5927[H8687] burnt offeringsH5930 upon the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, according to the commandmentH4687 of kingH4428 JosiahH2977.
[17]And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. [17]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672[H8737] keptH6213[H8799] the passoverH6453 at that timeH6256, and the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117.
[18]And there was no passover like to 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 that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. [18]And there was no passoverH6453 likeH3644 to that keptH6213[H8738] in IsraelH3478 from the daysH3117 of SamuelH8050 the prophetH5030; neither didH6213[H8804] all the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 keepH6213[H8804] such a passoverH6453 as JosiahH2977 keptH6213[H8804], and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and all JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672[H8737], and the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of JerusalemH3389.
[19]In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept. [19]In the eighteenthH8083[H6240] yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of JosiahH2977 was this passoverH6453 keptH6213.[H8738]
[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. [20]AfterH310 all this, when JosiahH2977 had preparedH3559[H8689] the templeH1004, NechoH5224 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927[H8804] to fightH3898[H8736] against CarchemishH3751 by EuphratesH6578: and JosiahH2977 went outH3318[H8799] againstH7125 himH8800.
[21]But he sent ambassadors to him, saying: 'What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war; and God hath given command to speed me; forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that He destroy thee not.' [21]But he sentH7971[H8799] ambassadorsH4397 to him, sayingH559[H8800], What have I to do with thee, thou kingH4428 of JudahH3063? I come not against thee this dayH3117, but against the houseH1004 wherewith I have warH4421: for GodH430 commandedH559[H8804] me to make hasteH926[H8763]: forbearH2308[H8798] thee from meddling with GodH430, who is with me, that he destroyH7843 thee notH8686.
[22]Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Neco, from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo. [22]Nevertheless JosiahH2977 would not turnH5437[H8689] his faceH6440 from him, but disguisedH2664[H8694] himself, that he might fightH3898[H8736] with him, and hearkenedH8085[H8804] not unto the wordsH1697 of NechoH5224 from the mouthH6310 of GodH430, and cameH935[H8799] to fightH3898[H8736] in the valleyH1237 of MegiddoH4023.
[23]And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants: 'Have me away; for I am sore wounded.' [23]And the archersH3384[H8802] shotH3384[H8686] at kingH4428 JosiahH2977; and the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] to his servantsH5650, Have me awayH5674[H8685]; for I am soreH3966 woundedH2470.[H8717]
[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 sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah. [24]His servantsH5650 therefore tookH5674[H8686] him out of that chariotH4818, and putH7392[H8686] him in the secondH4932 chariotH7393 that he had; and they broughtH3212[H8686] him to JerusalemH3389, and he diedH4191[H8799], and was buriedH6912[H8735] in one of the sepulchresH6913 of his fathersH1. And all JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 mournedH56[H8693] for JosiahH2977.
[25]And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah; and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in the lamentations, unto this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel; and, behold, they are written in the lamentations. [25]And JeremiahH3414 lamentedH6969[H8787] for JosiahH2977: and all the singing menH7891[H8802] and the singing womenH7891[H8802] spakeH559[H8799] of JosiahH2977 in their lamentationsH7015 to this dayH3117, and madeH5414[H8799] them an ordinanceH2706 in IsraelH3478: and, behold, they are writtenH3789[H8803] in the lamentationsH7015.
[26]Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the Law of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, [26]Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JosiahH2977, and his goodnessH2617, according to that which was writtenH3789[H8803] in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068,
[27]And his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. [27]And his deedsH1697, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789[H8803] in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.
