Josias befaler, at der skal holdes påske igen(A)
35 Josias bekendtgjorde nu, at der skulle fejres påske i Jerusalem på den 14. dag i årets første måned. På den dag skulle påskelammene slagtes. 2 Som en del af forberedelserne indsatte han præsterne i deres tjeneste og opmuntrede dem til at tage vare på deres arbejde i templet. 3 Til levitterne, som skulle undervise Israels folk og var indviet til at tjene Herren, sagde han: „Da pagtens ark nu står i det tempel, Salomon fik bygget, og da I derfor ikke længere skal bruge tid og kræfter på at bære rundt på den, skal I i stedet bruge jeres tid på at tjene Herren og hans folk, Israel. 4 I skal fordele arbejdet efter de skiftehold, som kong David og hans søn Salomon i sin tid etablerede, og som bygger på, hvilke slægter I kommer fra. 5 Hvert hold skal så tage opstilling på deres angivne plads og hjælpe dem, der kommer for at ofre i templet. 6 I skal slagte påskelammene og sørge for at være indviet til tjeneste, så I kan hjælpe hele folket, mens I følger alle forskrifterne i Moses’ lov.”
7 Kongen skænkede personligt 30.000 stykker småkvæg, enten lam eller gedekid, samt 3000 stykker hornkvæg til festen. 8 Kongens embedsmænd og andre ledere gav også rundhåndet af, hvad de ejede, til præsterne, levitterne og de øvrige festdeltagere. Hilkija, Zekarja og Jehiel, som havde overopsyn med templet, forærede præsterne 2600 stykker småkvæg og 300 stykker hornkvæg. 9 De levitiske ledere Konanja, hans brødre Shemaja og Netanel, Hashabja, Jeiel og Jozabad skænkede 5000 stykker småkvæg og 500 stykker hornkvæg til levitterne.
10 Da alle forberedelser til påskefesten var fuldført, stillede præsterne sig på deres post i templet, og levitterne tog opstilling i hold, som kongen havde befalet. 11 Levitterne slagtede påskelammene og gav det opsamlede blod til præsterne, der stænkede det på alteret, mens levitterne flåede og parterede dyrene. 12 De dele, der skulle bringes som brændofre, blev givet til familieoverhovederne, som så bragte dem til præsterne til ofring ifølge forskrifterne i Moses’ lov. De andre dyr blev på tilsvarende måde slagtet, flået og parteret i løbet af ugen. 13 De dele fra påskelammet, som folk måtte spise, blev stegt og givet til folk. Kødet fra de øvrige dyr blev derimod kogt i gryder, kar og pander og derefter givet til folket. 14 Da folket havde fået deres påskelam, tilberedte levitterne påskelammet til sig selv og præsterne, der hele dagen havde haft travlt med at ofre fedtet og det, der ellers skulle brændes på brændofferalteret.
15 Sangerne, som kom fra Asafs slægt, var på plads ifølge de regler, som kong David, Asaf, Heman og profeten Jedutun århundreder forinden havde bestemt. Portvagterne stod vagt, og de behøvede ikke at forlade deres post, for andre levitter klarede påskeofferet for dem.
16 Sådan blev der holdt påske for Herren den dag efter alle forskrifterne. Lammene blev slagtet og brændofrene bragt på det store alter, som kong Josias havde befalet. 17 Alle de israelitter, som boede i Jerusalem eller var rejst derhen, tog del i påskefesten, som de næste syv dage efterfulgtes af de usyrnede brøds fest. 18 Ikke siden profeten Samuels tid havde man fejret påske i Israel efter alle forskrifterne. Ingen konge før Josias havde holdt en så storslået påskehøjtid sammen med præsterne, levitterne og folk fra hele Jerusalem, Juda og Israel. 19 Denne begivenhed fandt sted i kong Josias’ 18. regeringsår.
Resten af Josias’ regeringstid(B)
20 Nogle år efter at Josias havde restaureret templet, var kong Neko af Egypten på vej mod Karkemish ved Eufratfloden med sin hær. Josias drog ud med sin hær for at standse ham, 21 men Neko sendte følgende besked til Josias: „Denne krig angår ikke dig, judæerkonge! Lad mig være, så jeg kan koncentrere mig om at bekæmpe min fjende, for Gud har sagt, at jeg skal skynde mig. Lad være med at komme på tværs af Guds planer, ellers bliver du dræbt.”
22 Men Josias ville ikke lytte til den advarsel, som Gud gav ham gennem Neko. Han førte sin hær til kamp på sletten ved Megiddo. Af sikkerhedshensyn tog han dog sin kongedragt af, før kampen begyndte. 23 Alligevel blev han ramt af en dødbringende pil. „Hurtigt,” råbte han til sine livvagter, „tag mig væk fra fronten. Jeg er hårdt såret.”
24 Mændene skyndte sig at bære ham over i en anden stridsvogn, og derefter kørte de ham hjem til Jerusalem, hvor han døde kort efter. Han blev begravet i det kongelige gravsted tæt ved sine forfædre, og hele Juda og Jerusalem sørgede over hans død.
25 Profeten Jeremias digtede en sørgesang over kong Josias. Siden har mange sangere, både mænd og kvinder, sunget denne sørgesang, og den er nedskrevet i bogen med klagesange.
26-27 Resten af kong Josias’ liv og virke fra begyndelsen til enden, inklusive hans iver efter at tjene Herren og følge Toraen i et og alt, er beskrevet i Israels og Judas kongers krønikebog.

35 Derpå fejrede Josias Påske for Herren i Jerusalem, og de slagtede Påskelammet den fjortende Dag i den første Måned. 2 Han satte Præsterne til det, de havde at varetage, og opmuntrede dem til Tjenesten i Herrens Hus; 3 og til Leviterne, som underviste hele Israel og var helliget Herren, sagde han: "Sæt den hellige Ark i Templet, som Davids Søn, Kong Salomo af Israel, byggede; I skal ikke mere bære den på Skuldrene. Tjen nu Herren eders Gud og hans Folk Israel! 4 Gør eder rede Fædrenehus for Fædrenehus, Skifte for Skifte, efter Kong David af Israels Forskrift og hans Søn Salomos Anvisning, 5 og stil eder op i Helligdommen, således at der bliver et Skifte af et levitisk Fædrenehus for hver Afdeling af eders Brødres, Almuens, Fædrenehuse, 6 og slagt så Påskeofferdyrene, helliger eder og tillav dem til eders Brødre for at handle efter Herrens Ord ved Moses."
7 Josias gav frivilligt Almuen, alle dem, der var til Stede, en Ydelse af Småkvæg, Lam og Gedekid, alt sammen til Påskeofferdyr, 30.000 Stykker i Tal, og 3.000 Stykker Hornkvæg, alt af Kongens Ejendom; 8 og hans Øverster gav frivilligt Folket, Præslerne og Leviterne en Ydelse; Hilkija, Zekarja og Jehiel, Guds Hus's Øverster, gav Præsterne til Påskeofferdyr 2.600 Stykker Småkvæg og 300 Stykker Hornkvæg. 9 Leviternes Øverster Konanja og hans Brød1e Sjemaja og Netan'el, Hasjabja, Je'iel og Jozabad ydede Leviterne til Påskeofferdyr 5.000 Stykker Småkvæg og 500 Stykker Hornkvæg.
10 Således ordnedes Tjenesten, og Præsterne stod på deres Plads, ligeledes Leviterne, Skifte for Skifte efter Kongens Bud. 11 De slagtede Påskedyrene, og Præsterne sprængte Blodet, som de rakte dem, medens Leviterne flåede Huden af. 12 Derpå gjorde de Brændofrene tede for at give dem til de enkelte Afdelinger af Almuens Fædrenehuse, så at de kunde frembæres for Herren, som det er foreskrevet i Moses's Bog, og på samme Måde gjorde de med Hornkvæget. 13 Påskedyrene stegte de over Ilden på den foreskrevne Måde, men de hellige Stykker kogte de i Gryder, Kedler og Skåle og bragte dem skyndsomt til Almuen. 14 Derefter gjorde de Påskedyr rede til sig selv og Præsterne, thi Præsterne, Arons Sønner, var sysselsatte med at ofre 81ændofrene og Fedtstykkerne lige til Nattens Frembrud; derfor gjorde Leviterne Ofre rede både for sig selv og Præsterne, Arons Sønner. 15 Sangerne, Asafs Sønner, var på deres Plads efterDavids, Asafs, Hemans og Kongens Seer Jedutuns Bud, og Dørvogterne ved de forskellige Porte; de måtte ikke forlade deres Plads, men deres Brødre Leviterne gjorde Påskedyr rede for dem.
16 Således ordnedes hele Herrens Tjeneste den Dag, idet man fejrede Påsken og bragte Brændofre på Herrens Alter efter Kong Josias's Bud; 17 og Israeliterne, som var til Stede, fejrede dengang Påsken og de usyrede Brøds Højtid i syv Dage. 18 En Påske som den var ikke blevet fejret i Israel siden Profeten Samuels Dage, og ingen af Israels Konger havde fejret en Påske som den, Josias, Præsterne og Leviterne og alle de Judæere og Israeliter, som var til Stede, og Jerusalems Indbyggere fejrede. 19 I Josias's attende Regeringsår blev denne Påsk fejret.
20 Efter alt dette, da Josias havde sat Templet i Stand, drog Ægypterkongen Neko op til Kamp ved Karkemisj, der ligger ved Eufrat. Josias drog imod ham; 21 men han sendte Sendebud til ham og lod sige: "Hvad er der mig og dig imellem, Judas Konge? Det er ikke dig, det nu gælder, men det Kongehus, jeg ligget i Krig med; og Gud har sagt, at jeg skulde haste. Gå ikke imod den Gud, der er med mig, at han ikke skal ødelægge dig!" 22 Josias vendte dog ikke om, men vovede at indlade sig i Hamp med ham; han tog ikke Hensyn til Nekos Ord, der dog kom fra Guds Mund, men drog ud til Kamp på Megiddos Slette. 23 Da ramte Bueskytterne Kong Josias; og Kongen sagde til sine Folk: "Før mig bort, thi jeg er hårdt såret!" 24 Hans Folk bragte ham da bort fra Vognen og satte ham på hans anden Vogn og førte ham til Jerusalem, hvor han døde. De jordede ham i hans Fædres Grave, og hele Juda og Jerusalem sørgede over Josias. 25 Jeremias sang en Klagesang over Josias, og alle Sangerne og Sangerinderne talte i deres Klagesange om ham, som de gør den Dag i Dag; man gjorde dette til en stående Skik i Israel, og Sangene står optegnet blandt Klagesangene.
26 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Josias og hans fromme Gerninger, der sfemte med, hvad der er foreskrevet i Herrens Lov, 27 hans Historie fra først til sidst står jo optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger.

Josiah Celebrates the Passover(A)
35 Josiah celebrated the Passover(B) to the Lord in Jerusalem, and the Passover lamb was slaughtered on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2 He appointed the priests to their duties and encouraged them in the service of the Lord’s temple. 3 He said to the Levites, who instructed(C) all Israel and who had been consecrated to the Lord: “Put the sacred ark in the temple that Solomon son of David king of Israel built. It is not to be carried about on your shoulders. Now serve the Lord your God and his people Israel. 4 Prepare yourselves by families in your divisions,(D) according to the instructions written by David king of Israel and by his son Solomon.
5 “Stand in the holy place with a group of Levites for each subdivision of the families of your fellow Israelites, the lay people. 6 Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves(E) and prepare the lambs for your fellow Israelites, doing what the Lord commanded through Moses.”
7 Josiah provided for all the lay people who were there a total of thirty thousand lambs and goats for the Passover offerings,(F) and also three thousand cattle—all from the king’s own possessions.(G)
8 His officials also contributed(H) voluntarily to the people and the priests and Levites. Hilkiah,(I) Zechariah and Jehiel, the officials in charge of God’s temple, gave the priests twenty-six hundred Passover offerings and three hundred cattle. 9 Also Konaniah(J) along with Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel and Jozabad,(K) the leaders of the Levites, provided five thousand Passover offerings and five hundred head of cattle for the Levites.
10 The service was arranged and the priests stood in their places with the Levites in their divisions(L) as the king had ordered.(M) 11 The Passover lambs were slaughtered,(N) and the priests splashed against the altar the blood handed to them, while the Levites skinned the animals. 12 They set aside the burnt offerings to give them to the subdivisions of the families of the people to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the Book of Moses. They did the same with the cattle. 13 They roasted the Passover animals over the fire as prescribed,(O) and boiled the holy offerings in pots, caldrons and pans and served them quickly to all the people. 14 After this, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were sacrificing the burnt offerings and the fat portions(P) until nightfall. So the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the Aaronic priests.
15 The musicians,(Q) the descendants of Asaph, were in the places prescribed by David, Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun the king’s seer. The gatekeepers at each gate did not need to leave their posts, because their fellow Levites made the preparations for them.
16 So at that time the entire service of the Lord was carried out for the celebration of the Passover and the offering of burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord, as King Josiah had ordered. 17 The Israelites who were present celebrated the Passover at that time and observed the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days. 18 The Passover had not been observed like this in Israel since the days of the prophet Samuel; and none of the kings of Israel had ever celebrated such a Passover as did Josiah, with the priests, the Levites and all Judah and Israel who were there with the people of Jerusalem. 19 This Passover was celebrated in the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign.
The Death of Josiah(R)
20 After all this, when Josiah had set the temple in order, Necho king of Egypt went up to fight at Carchemish(S) on the Euphrates,(T) and Josiah marched out to meet him in battle. 21 But Necho sent messengers to him, saying, “What quarrel is there, king of Judah, between you and me? It is not you I am attacking at this time, but the house with which I am at war. God has told(U) me to hurry; so stop opposing God, who is with me, or he will destroy you.”
22 Josiah, however, would not turn away from him, but disguised(V) himself to engage him in battle. He would not listen to what Necho had said at God’s command but went to fight him on the plain of Megiddo.
23 Archers(W) shot King Josiah, and he told his officers, “Take me away; I am badly wounded.” 24 So they took him out of his chariot, put him in his other chariot and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him.
25 Jeremiah composed laments for Josiah, and to this day all the male and female singers commemorate Josiah in the laments.(X) These became a tradition in Israel and are written in the Laments.(Y)
26 The other events of Josiah’s reign and his acts of devotion in accordance with what is written in the Law of the Lord— 27 all the events, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
2 Chronicles 35
King James Version
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.
