They ate throughout the appointed seven days, offering fellowship sacrifices and giving thanks to the LORD, the God of their ancestors. 23 The whole assembly decided to celebrate the festival for another seven days, so they celebrated joyfully for seven more days. 24 Hezekiah king of Judah contributed a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for the assembly, and the officials provided a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep. A large number of priests consecrated themselves. 25 The entire assembly of Judah rejoiced, along with the priests and Levites, the whole assembly from Israel, the foreigners who had come from Israel, and those who lived in Judah. 26 There was great joy in Jerusalem, for nothing like this had happened in Jerusalem since the days of Solomon son of David, king of Israel. 27 The priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard them, and their prayer reached His holy dwelling place in heaven.
  • 2 Chr 35:7-9 : 7 Josiah gave to the people, as offerings for Passover sacrifices, flocks of lambs and young goats numbering thirty thousand, as well as three thousand cattle; these came from the king's possessions. 8 His officers also contributed willingly to the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the officials in charge of the house of God, provided the priests with 2,600 Passover offerings and 300 cattle. 9 Conaniah, along with Shemaiah, Nethanel, his brothers, Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the leaders of the Levites, gave the Levites 5,000 Passover sacrifices and 500 cattle. 10 When everything was ready, the priests stood in their places, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the king's command. 11 They slaughtered the Passover lambs, and the priests sprinkled the blood handed to them, while the Levites skinned the animals. 12 They set aside the burnt offerings to be distributed to the divisions of the ancestral families of the people, to offer them to the LORD as it is written in the Book of Moses; and they did the same with the cattle. 13 They roasted the Passover lambs over the fire according to the ordinance. They boiled the sacred offerings in pots, kettles, and pans, and served them quickly to all the people. 14 Afterward, they prepared portions for themselves and the priests, because the priests, descendants of Aaron, were busy offering the burnt offerings and fat portions until nightfall. So the Levites prepared portions for themselves and the priests, the descendants of Aaron. 15 The singers, the sons of Asaph, were at their stations as commanded by David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer. The gatekeepers were stationed at each gate and did not leave their posts, since their fellow Levites prepared their portions for them. 16 So all the service of the LORD was arranged that day to observe the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, as commanded by King Josiah. 17 The Israelites who were present celebrated the Passover at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days. 18 There had not been a Passover celebrated like this in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel had celebrated a Passover such as Josiah did with the priests, the Levites, all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 19 This Passover was observed in the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign.
