14:034:032 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.
14:034:033 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
lord
their God. And all his days they departed not
from
following
the lord, the God of their fathers.
14:035:001 Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the
lord in Jerusalem:
and
they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the
first
month.
14:035:002 And he set the priests in their charges,
and encouraged them
to
the service of the house of the lord,
14:035:003 And said unto the Levites that taught all
Israel, which were
holy
unto the lord, 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
lord your
God,
and his people Israel,
14:035:004 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.
14:035:005 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.
14:035:006 So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves,
and prepare
your
brethren, that they may do according to the word of
the
lord
by the hand of Moses.
14:035:007 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.
14:035:008 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.
14:035:009 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.
14:035:010 So the service was prepared, and the priests
stood in their
place,
and the Levites in their courses, according to the
king’s
commandment.
