35:1 | Moreover Josiah <02977> kept <06213> (8799) a passover <06453> unto the LORD <03068> in Jerusalem <03389>: and they killed <07819> (8799) the passover <06453> on the fourteenth <0702> <06240> [day] of the first <07223> month <02320>. |
35:2 | And he set <05975> (8686) the priests <03548> in their charges <04931>, and encouraged <02388> (8762) them to the service <05656> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, |
35:3 | And said <0559> (8799) unto the Levites <03881> that taught <0995> (8688) (8675) <04000> all Israel <03478>, which were holy <06918> unto the LORD <03068>, Put <05414> (8798) the holy <06944> ark <0727> in the house <01004> which Solomon <08010> the son <01121> of David <01732> king <04428> of Israel <03478> did build <01129> (8804); [it shall] not [be] a burden <04853> upon [your] shoulders <03802>: serve <05647> (8798) now the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, and his people <05971> Israel <03478>, |
35:4 | And prepare <03559> (8685) (8675) <03559> (8734) [yourselves] by the houses <01004> of your fathers <01>, after your courses <04256>, according to the writing <03791> of David <01732> king <04428> of Israel <03478>, and according to the writing <04385> of Solomon <08010> his son <01121>. |
35:5 | And stand in <05975> (8798) the holy <06944> [place] according to the divisions <06391> of the families <01004> of the fathers <01> of your brethren <0251> the people <01121> <05971>, and [after] the division <02515> of the families <01> <01004> of the Levites <03881>. {the families of the fathers: Heb. the house of the fathers} {the people: Heb. the sons of the people} |
35:6 | So kill <07819> (8798) the passover <06453>, and sanctify <06942> (8690) yourselves, and prepare <03559> (8685) your brethren <0251>, that [they] may do <06213> (8800) according to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> by the hand <03027> of Moses <04872>. |
35:7 | And Josiah <02977> gave <07311> (8686) to the people <01121> <05971>, of the flock <06629>, lambs <03532> and kids <01121> <05795>, all for the passover offerings <06453>, for all that were present <04672> (8737), to the number <04557> of thirty <07970> thousand <0505>, and three <07969> thousand <0505> bullocks <01241>: these [were] of the king's <04428> substance <07399>. {gave: Heb. offered} |
35:8 | And his princes <08269> gave <07311> (8689) willingly <05071> unto the people <05971>, to the priests <03548>, and to the Levites <03881>: Hilkiah <02518> and Zechariah <02148> and Jehiel <03171>, rulers <05057> of the house <01004> of God <0430>, gave <05414> (8804) unto the priests <03548> for the passover offerings <06453> two thousand <0505> and six <08337> hundred <03967> [small cattle], and three <07969> hundred <03967> oxen <01241>. {gave willingly: Heb. offered, etc} |
35:9 | Conaniah <03562> also, and Shemaiah <08098> and Nethaneel <05417>, his brethren <0251>, and Hashabiah <02811> and Jeiel <03273> and Jozabad <03107>, chief <08269> of the Levites <03881>, gave <07311> (8689) unto the Levites <03881> for passover offerings <06453> five <02568> thousand <0505> [small cattle], and five <02568> hundred <03967> oxen <01241>. {gave: Heb. offered} |
35:10 | So the service <05656> was prepared <03559> (8735), and the priests <03548> stood <05975> (8799) in their place <05977>, and the Levites <03881> in their courses <04256>, according to the king's <04428> commandment <04687>. |
35:11 | And they killed <07819> (8799) the passover <06453>, and the priests <03548> sprinkled <02236> (8799) [the blood] from their hands <03027>, and the Levites <03881> flayed <06584> (8688) [them]. |
35:12 | And they removed <05493> (8686) the burnt offerings <05930>, that they might give <05414> (8800) according to the divisions <04653> of the families <01> <01004> of the people <01121> <05971>, to offer <07126> (8687) unto the LORD <03068>, as [it is] written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of Moses <04872>. And so [did they] with the oxen <01241>. |
35:13 | And they roasted <01310> (8762) the passover <06453> with fire <0784> according to the ordinance <04941>: but the [other] holy <06944> [offerings] sod <01310> (8765) they in pots <05518>, and in caldrons <01731>, and in pans <06745>, and divided [them] speedily <07323> (8686) among all the people <01121> <05971>. {divided...: Heb. made them run} |
35:14 | And afterward <0310> they made ready <03559> (8689) for themselves, and for the priests <03548>: because the priests <03548> the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175> [were busied] in offering <05927> (8687) of burnt offerings <05930> and the fat <02459> until night <03915>; therefore the Levites <03881> prepared <03559> (8689) for themselves, and for the priests <03548> the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175>. |
35:15 | And the singers <07891> (8789) the sons <01121> of Asaph <0623> [were] in their place <04612>, according to the commandment <04687> of David <01732>, and Asaph <0623>, and Heman <01968>, and Jeduthun <03038> the king's <04428> seer <02374>; and the porters <07778> [waited] at every gate <08179>; they might not depart <05493> (8800) from their service <05656>; for their brethren <0251> the Levites <03881> prepared <03559> (8689) for them. {place: Heb. station} |
35:16 | So all the service <05656> of the LORD <03068> was prepared <03559> (8735) the same day <03117>, to keep <06213> (8800) the passover <06453>, and to offer <05927> (8687) burnt offerings <05930> upon the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068>, according to the commandment <04687> of king <04428> Josiah <02977>. |
35:17 | And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> that were present <04672> (8737) kept <06213> (8799) the passover <06453> at that time <06256>, and the feast <02282> of unleavened bread <04682> seven <07651> days <03117>. {present: Heb. found} |
35:18 | And there was no passover <06453> like <03644> to that kept <06213> (8738) in Israel <03478> from the days <03117> of Samuel <08050> the prophet <05030>; neither did <06213> (8804) all the kings <04428> of Israel <03478> keep <06213> (8804) such a passover <06453> as Josiah <02977> kept <06213> (8804), and the priests <03548>, and the Levites <03881>, and all Judah <03063> and Israel <03478> that were present <04672> (8737), and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>. {present: Heb. found} |
35:19 | In the eighteenth <08083> <06240> year <08141> of the reign <04438> of Josiah <02977> was this passover <06453> kept <06213> (8738). |
35:20 | After <0310> all this, when Josiah <02977> had prepared <03559> (8689) the temple <01004>, Necho <05224> king <04428> of Egypt <04714> came up <05927> (8804) to fight <03898> (8736) against Carchemish <03751> by Euphrates <06578>: and Josiah <02977> went out <03318> (8799) against <07125> (8800) him. {temple: Heb. house} |
35:21 | But he sent <07971> (8799) ambassadors <04397> to him, saying <0559> (8800), What have I to do with thee, thou king <04428> of Judah <03063>? [I come] not against thee this day <03117>, but against the house <01004> wherewith I have war <04421>: for God <0430> commanded <0559> (8804) me to make haste <0926> (8763): forbear <02308> (8798) thee from [meddling with] God <0430>, who [is] with me, that he destroy <07843> (8686) thee not. {the house...: Heb. the house of my war} |
35:22 | Nevertheless Josiah <02977> would not turn <05437> (8689) his face <06440> from him, but disguised <02664> (8694) himself, that he might fight <03898> (8736) with him, and hearkened <08085> (8804) not unto the words <01697> of Necho <05224> from the mouth <06310> of God <0430>, and came <0935> (8799) to fight <03898> (8736) in the valley <01237> of Megiddo <04023>. |
35:23 | And the archers <03384> (8802) shot <03384> (8686) at king <04428> Josiah <02977>; and the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) to his servants <05650>, Have me away <05674> (8685); for I am sore <03966> wounded <02470> (8717). {wounded: Heb. made sick} |
35:24 | His servants <05650> therefore took <05674> (8686) him out of that chariot <04818>, and put <07392> (8686) him in the second <04932> chariot <07393> that he had; and they brought <03212> (8686) him to Jerusalem <03389>, and he died <04191> (8799), and was buried <06912> (8735) in [one of] the sepulchres <06913> of his fathers <01>. And all Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389> mourned <056> (8693) for Josiah <02977>. {in one...: or, among the sepulchres} |
35:25 | And Jeremiah <03414> lamented <06969> (8787) for Josiah <02977>: and all the singing men <07891> (8802) and the singing women <07891> (8802) spake <0559> (8799) of Josiah <02977> in their lamentations <07015> to this day <03117>, and made <05414> (8799) them an ordinance <02706> in Israel <03478>: and, behold, they [are] written <03789> (8803) in the lamentations <07015>. |
35:26 | Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Josiah <02977>, and his goodness <02617>, according to [that which was] written <03789> (8803) in the law <08451> of the LORD <03068>, {goodness: Heb. kindnesses} |
35:27 | And his deeds <01697>, first <07223> and last <0314>, behold, they [are] written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the kings <04428> of Israel <03478> and Judah <03063>. |
