perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book.
32
And he caused all that were
present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand
to it.
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according
to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
33
And Josiah took away all the abominations out
of all the countries that
pertained
to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel
to serve,
even
to serve the L
ORD
their God.
And
all his days they departed not from following the
L
ORD
, the God of their fathers.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 35
Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the L
ORD
in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the
fourteenth
day
of the first month.
2
And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to
the service of the house of the L
ORD
,
3
And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were
holy unto the L
ORD
, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel
did build;
it shall
not
be
a burden upon
your
shoulders: serve now the L
ORD
your God, and his
people Israel,
4
And prepare
yourselves
by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according
to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
5
And stand
in the holy
place
according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people,
and
after
the division of the families of the Levites.
6
So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves,
and prepare your brethren, that
they
may do according to the word of the L
ORD
by the hand of
Moses.
7
And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings,
for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these
were
of the king’s substance.
8
And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the
Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, 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.
9
Conaniah
also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the
Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand
small cattle,
and five hundred
oxen.
10
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their
courses, according to the king’s commandment.
11
And they killed the passover, and the priests
sprinkled
the blood
from their hands, and the Levites flayed
them.
12
And they removed the burnt
offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto
the L
ORD
, as
it is
written in the book of Moses. And so
did they
with the oxen.
13
And they roasted
the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the
other
holy
offerings
sod they in pots, and
in caldrons, and in pans, and divided
them
speedily among all the people.
14
And afterward they
made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron
were busied
in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves,
and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
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;
