These were from the king's possessions. 8 And his princes gave willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand six hundred sheep and three hundred oxen. 9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for Passover offerings five thousand sheep and five hundred oxen. 10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the king's commandment. 11 And they killed the Passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites skinned them. 12 And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And they did the same with the oxen. 13 And they roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance, but the other holy offerings they cooked in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them quickly among all the people. 14 And afterward they made ready for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were busy in offering 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 could not depart from their service, because 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 on the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah. 17 And the children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. 18 There had been no Passover like that kept in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet; nor did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, with the priests, the Levites, all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah, this Passover was kept.
