約西亞守逾越節(A)
35 約西亞在耶路撒冷向耶和華守逾越節。正月十四日，他們宰了逾越節的羔羊。 2 王分派祭司各盡其職，又勉勵他們辦耶和華殿中的事。 3 他對那歸耶和華為聖、教導以色列眾人的利未人說：「你們將聖約櫃安放在以色列王大衛兒子所羅門建造的殿裏，不必再用肩扛抬。現在你們要服事耶和華—你們的 神和他的百姓以色列。 4 你們應當按着父家，照着班次，遵照以色列王大衛和他兒子所羅門所寫的，預備自己。 5 要按着你們百姓的弟兄、父家的班次，侍立在聖所；每父家的班次中要有幾個利未人。 6 要宰逾越節的羔羊，將自己分別為聖，為你們的弟兄預備，好遵守耶和華藉摩西所吩咐的話。」
7 約西亞從羣畜中賜給所有在場的百姓，三萬隻小綿羊和小山羊，三千頭牛，作逾越節的祭物；這些都是出自王的產業。 8 約西亞的眾領袖也樂意把祭牲給百姓、祭司和利未人；管理 神殿的希勒家、撒迦利亞、耶歇，把二千六百隻羔羊和三百頭牛給祭司作逾越節的祭物。 9 利未人的族長歌楠雅和他兩個兄弟示瑪雅、拿坦業，與哈沙比雅、耶利、約撒拔，把五千隻羔羊和五百頭牛給利未人作逾越節的祭物。
10 這樣，事奉的工作都安排好了，照王所吩咐的，祭司站在自己的位上，利未人按着班次侍立。 11 他們宰了逾越節的羔羊，祭司從他們手裏接過血來[a]灑出去；利未人剝皮， 12 把燔祭拿走，再按着父家的班次分給眾百姓，照摩西書上所寫的獻給耶和華；獻牛也是這樣。 13 他們按着常例，用火烤逾越節的羔羊。至於其他的聖物，他們用盆，用鍋，用釜煮了，速速地送給眾百姓。 14 然後他們為自己和祭司預備祭物，因為作祭司的亞倫子孫獻燔祭和脂肪，直到晚上。所以利未人為自己和作祭司的亞倫子孫預備。 15 歌唱的亞薩子孫，照着大衛、亞薩、希幔和王的先見耶杜頓所吩咐的，站在自己的位上。守門的看守各門，不用離開他們的職守，因為他們的弟兄利未人給他們預備。
16 當日，一切供奉耶和華、守逾越節，以及在耶和華壇上獻燔祭的事，都照約西亞王的吩咐預備好了。 17 那時，在場的以色列人都守逾越節，又守除酵節七日。 18 自從撒母耳先知的日子以來，在以色列中沒有守過這樣的逾越節，以色列諸王也沒有守過像約西亞、祭司、利未人、所有住猶大和以色列的人，以及耶路撒冷居民所守的逾越節。 19 這逾越節是約西亞作王十八年時守的。
約西亞逝世(B)
20 約西亞為殿做完這一切事以後，埃及王尼哥上來，要攻打靠近幼發拉底河的迦基米施；約西亞出去迎擊他。 21 他派使者來見約西亞，說：「猶大王啊，我跟你有甚麼相干呢？我今日來不是要攻打你，而是要攻打與我爭戰之家，並且 神吩咐我從速行事。你不要干預與我同在的 神，免得他毀滅你。」 22 約西亞卻不轉臉離開他，反而改裝要與他打仗。他不聽從 神藉尼哥的口所說的話，就來到米吉多平原爭戰。 23 弓箭手射中約西亞王。王對他的臣僕說：「我受了重傷，你們載我離開戰場吧！」 24 他的臣僕扶他下了戰車，上了他的副座車，送他到耶路撒冷。他就死了，葬在他祖先的墳墓裏。全猶大和耶路撒冷都哀悼約西亞。 25 耶利米為約西亞作哀歌，所有歌唱的男女也唱哀歌，追悼約西亞，直到今日。他們在以色列中以此為定例；看哪，這些哀歌寫在《哀歌書》上。 26 約西亞其餘的事和他遵照耶和華律法上所記而行的善事， 27 以及他自始至終所行的，看哪，都寫在《以色列和猶大列王記》上。

2 Chronicles 35
King James Version
35 Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the Lord 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 Lord,
3 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,
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 Lord 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 Lord, 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; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
16 So all the service of the Lord was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
17 And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
18 And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all 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.
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.
20 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
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: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.
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 Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
23 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.
24 His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
25 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the Lord,
27 And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
