Chapter 35 Moreover, Josiah kept a
Passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem,

00:05.940 --> 00:09.100
and they killed the Passover on the
fourteenth day of the first month.

00:09.680 --> 00:13.580
And he set the priests in their charges,
and encouraged them to the service of the

00:13.580 --> 00:16.800
house of the Lord, and said unto the
Levites that taught all Israel,

00:17.220 --> 00:20.820
which were holy unto the Lord,
Put the holy ark in the house which

00:20.820 --> 00:23.040
Solomon the son of David, king of Israel,
did build.

00:23.520 --> 00:25.360
It shall not be a burden upon your
shoulders.

00:26.200 --> 00:30.440
Serve now the Lord your God and his people
Israel, and prepare yourselves by the

00:30.440 --> 00:34.160
houses of your fathers, after your
courses, according to the writing of David

00:34.160 --> 00:37.160
king of Israel, and according to the
writing of Solomon his son.

00:37.680 --> 00:41.200
And stand in the holy place according to
the divisions of the families of the

00:41.200 --> 00:44.840
fathers of your brethren, the people,
and after the division of the families of

00:44.840 --> 00:45.340
the Levites.

00:45.920 --> 00:50.400
So kill the Passover, and sanctify
yourselves, and prepare your brethren,

00:51.020 --> 00:54.840
that they may do according to the word of
the Lord by the hand of Moses.

00:54.840 --> 00:58.800
And Josiah gave to the people,
of the flock, lambs, and kids,

00:59.220 --> 01:02.920
all for the Passover offerings,
for all that were present, to the number

01:02.920 --> 01:05.380
of thirty thousand, and three thousand
bullocks.

01:05.860 --> 01:07.320
These were of the king's substance.

01:07.980 --> 01:11.420
And his princes gave willingly unto the
people, to the priests, and to the

01:11.420 --> 01:11.860
Levites.

01:12.480 --> 01:17.200
Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel,
rulers of the house of God, gave unto the

01:17.200 --> 01:21.200
priests for the Passover offerings,
two thousand and six hundred small cattle,

01:21.440 --> 01:22.960
and three hundred oxen.

01:23.500 --> 01:27.860
Conaniah also, and Shemaiah, and
Nathanael, his brethren, and Hashebiah,

01:28.000 --> 01:32.020
and Jehiel, and Jezebel, chief of the
Levites, gave unto the Levites for

01:32.020 --> 01:35.800
Passover offerings, five thousand small
cattle, and five hundred oxen.

01:36.560 --> 01:40.340
So the service was prepared, and the
priests stood in their place, and the

01:40.340 --> 01:43.060
Levites in their courses, according to the
king's commandment.

01:43.640 --> 01:47.100
And they killed the Passover, and the
priests sprinkled the blood from their

01:47.100 --> 01:49.040
hands, and the Levites flayed them.

01:49.500 --> 01:53.120
And they removed the burnt offerings,
that they might give according to the

01:53.120 --> 01:57.320
divisions of the families of the people,
to offer unto the Lord, as it is written

01:57.320 --> 01:58.140
in the book of Moses.

01:58.980 --> 02:00.340
And so did they with the oxen.

02:01.160 --> 02:04.120
And they roasted the Passover with fire,
according to the ordinance.

02:05.140 --> 02:09.380
But the other holy offerings sowed they in
pots, and in cauldrons, and in pans,

02:09.940 --> 02:11.900
and divided them speedily among all the
people.

02:12.980 --> 02:15.880
And afterward they made ready for
themselves, and for the priests.

02:16.380 --> 02:19.720
Because the priests, the sons of Aaron,
were busied in offering of burnt

02:19.720 --> 02:21.420
offerings, and the fat until night.

02:22.400 --> 02:25.500
Therefore the Levites prepared for
themselves, and for the priests,

02:25.660 --> 02:26.400
the sons of Aaron.

02:27.380 --> 02:30.980
And the singers, the sons of Asaph,
were in their place, according to the

02:30.980 --> 02:31.800
commandment of David.

02:32.520 --> 02:35.200
And Asaph, and Heman, and Juduthun,
the king's seer.

02:35.920 --> 02:37.580
And the porters waited at every gate.

02:38.340 --> 02:42.240
They might not depart from their service,
for their brethren the Levites prepared

02:42.240 --> 02:42.600
for them.

02:43.060 --> 02:46.740
So all the service of the Lord was
prepared the same day, to keep the

02:46.740 --> 02:51.100
Passover, and to offer burnt offerings
upon the altar of the Lord, according to

02:51.100 --> 02:52.380
the commandment of King Josiah.

02:53.400 --> 02:57.000
And the children of Israel that were
present kept the Passover at that time,

02:57.480 --> 02:59.740
and the feast of unleavened bread seven
days.

03:00.320 --> 03:04.340
And there was no Passover like to that
kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the

03:04.340 --> 03:04.560
prophet.

03:05.200 --> 03:09.260
Neither did all the kings of Israel keep
such a Passover as Josiah kept.

03:09.260 --> 03:12.940
And the priests, and the Levites,
and all Judah and Israel that were

03:12.940 --> 03:15.000
present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

03:15.740 --> 03:19.140
In the eighteenth year of the reign of
Josiah, was this Passover kept.

03:20.120 --> 03:24.080
After all this, when Josiah had prepared
the temple, Necho, king of Egypt,

03:24.440 --> 03:26.840
came up to fight against Carcamesh by
Euphrates.

03:27.480 --> 03:28.900
And Josiah went out against him.

03:29.380 --> 03:33.200
But he sent ambassadors to him,
saying, What have I to do with thee,

03:33.560 --> 03:34.460
thou king of Judah?

03:34.460 --> 03:39.100
I come not against thee this day,
but against the house wherewith I have

03:39.100 --> 03:39.440
war.

03:40.080 --> 03:42.700
For God commanded me to make haste.

03:42.860 --> 03:47.420
Forbear thee from meddling with God,
who is with me, that he destroy thee not.

03:47.580 --> 03:51.360
Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his
face from him, but disguised himself,

03:51.760 --> 03:52.760
that he might fight with him.

03:53.200 --> 03:55.860
And he hearkened not unto the words of
Necho from the mouth of God.

03:56.420 --> 03:58.200
And he came to fight in the valley of
Megiddo.

03:58.660 --> 04:00.560
And the archers shot at king Josiah.

04:00.920 --> 04:04.960
And the king said to his servants,
Have me away, for I am sore wounded.

04:05.220 --> 04:08.480
His servants therefore took him out of
that chariot, and put him in the second

04:08.480 --> 04:09.320
chariot that he had.

04:09.480 --> 04:10.640
And they brought him to Jerusalem.

04:11.080 --> 04:14.020
And he died, and was buried in one of the
sepulchres of his fathers.

04:14.580 --> 04:17.000
And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for
Josiah.

04:17.840 --> 04:19.520
And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah.

04:20.020 --> 04:23.140
And all the singing men and the singing
women spake of Josiah in their

04:23.140 --> 04:26.480
lamentations to this day, and made them an
ordinance in Israel.

04:27.200 --> 04:29.700
And behold, they are written in the
lamentations.

04:30.400 --> 04:34.320
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and his
goodness, according to that which was

04:34.320 --> 04:37.920
written in the law of the Lord,
and his deeds, first and last,

04:38.400 --> 04:41.720
behold, they are written in the book of
the kings of Israel and Judah.
