1  Moreover Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ kept⁶²¹³ a passover⁶⁴⁵³ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ and they killed⁷⁸¹⁹ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ on the fourteenth^{702 6240} day of the first⁷²²³ month.²³²⁰

2  And he set⁵⁹⁷⁵ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ in⁵⁹²¹ their charges,⁴⁹³¹ and encouraged²³⁸⁸ them to the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸

3  And said⁵⁵⁹ unto the Levites³⁸⁸¹ that taught⁴⁰⁰⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which were holy⁶⁹¹⁸ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Put^{5414 853} the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ ark⁷²⁷ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did build;¹¹²⁹ it shall not³⁶⁹ be a burden⁴⁸⁵³ upon your shoulders:³⁸⁰² serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ now^{6258 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ and his people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸

4  And prepare³⁵⁵⁹ yourselves by the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of your fathers,¹ after your courses,⁴²⁵⁶ according to the writing³⁷⁹¹ of David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and according to the writing⁴³⁸⁵ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ his son.¹¹²¹

5  And stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place according to the divisions⁶³⁹¹ of the families¹⁰⁰⁴ of the fathers¹ of your brethren²⁵¹ the people,^{1121 5971} and after the division²⁵¹⁵ of the families^{1004 1} of the Levites.³⁸⁸¹

6  So kill⁷⁸¹⁹ the passover,⁶⁴⁵³ and sanctify yourselves,⁶⁹⁴² and prepare³⁵⁵⁹ your brethren,²⁵¹ that they may do⁶²¹³ according to the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses.⁴⁸⁷²

7  And Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ gave⁷³¹¹ to the people,^{1121 5971} of the flock,⁶⁶²⁹ lambs³⁵³² and kids,^{1121 5795} all³⁶⁰⁵ for the passover offerings,⁶⁴⁵³ for all³⁶⁰⁵ that were present,⁴⁶⁷² to the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ thousand,⁵⁰⁵ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ bullocks:¹²⁴¹ these⁴²⁸ were of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ substance.^{4480 7399}

8  And his princes⁸²⁶⁹ gave⁷³¹¹ willingly⁵⁰⁷¹ unto the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ to the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and to the Levites:³⁸⁸¹ Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ and Zechariah²¹⁴⁸ and Jehiel,³¹⁷¹ rulers⁵⁰⁵⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the priests³⁵⁴⁸ for the passover offerings⁶⁴⁵³ two thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ small cattle, and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ oxen.¹²⁴¹

9  Conaniah³⁵⁶² also, and Shemaiah⁸⁰⁹⁸ and Nethaneel,⁵⁴¹⁷ his brethren,²⁵¹ and Hashabiah²⁸¹¹ and Jeiel³²⁷³ and Jozabad,³¹⁰⁷ chief⁸²⁶⁹ of the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ gave⁷³¹¹ unto the Levites³⁸⁸¹ for passover offerings⁶⁴⁵³ five²⁵⁶⁸ thousand⁵⁰⁵ small cattle, and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ oxen.¹²⁴¹

10  So the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ was prepared,³⁵⁵⁹ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in⁵⁹²¹ their place,⁵⁹⁷⁷ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ in⁵⁹²¹ their courses,⁴²⁵⁶ according to the king's⁴⁴²⁸ commandment.⁴⁶⁸⁷

11  And they killed⁷⁸¹⁹ the passover,⁶⁴⁵³ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ sprinkled²²³⁶ the blood from their hands,^{4480 3027} and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ flayed⁶⁵⁸⁴ them.

12  And they removed⁵⁴⁹³ the burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ that they might give⁵⁴¹⁴ according to the divisions⁴⁶⁵³ of the families^{1004 1} of the people,^{1121 5971} to offer⁷¹²⁶ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ as it is written³⁷⁸⁹ in the book⁵⁶¹² of Moses.⁴⁸⁷² And so³⁶⁵¹ did they with the oxen.¹²⁴¹

13  And they roasted¹³¹⁰ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ with fire⁷⁸⁴ according to the ordinance:⁴⁹⁴¹ but the other holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ offerings sod¹³¹⁰ they in pots,⁵⁵¹⁸ and in caldrons,¹⁷³¹ and in pans,⁶⁷⁴⁵ and divided them speedily⁷³²³ among all³⁶⁰⁵ the people.^{1121 5971}

14  And afterward³¹⁰ they made ready³⁵⁵⁹ for themselves, and for the priests:³⁵⁴⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ were busied in offering⁵⁹²⁷ of burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ and the fat²⁴⁵⁹ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ night;³⁹¹⁵ therefore the Levites³⁸⁸¹ prepared³⁵⁵⁹ for themselves, and for the priests³⁵⁴⁸ the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron.¹⁷⁵

15  And the singers⁷⁸⁹¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Asaph⁶²³ were in⁵⁹²¹ their place,⁴⁶¹² according to the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of David,¹⁷³² and Asaph,⁶²³ and Heman,¹⁹⁶⁸ and Jeduthun³⁰³⁸ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ seer;²³⁷⁴ and the porters⁷⁷⁷⁸ waited at every gate;^{8179 8179} they might not³⁶⁹ depart⁵⁴⁹³ from^{4480 5921} their service;⁵⁶⁵⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ their brethren²⁵¹ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ prepared³⁵⁵⁹ for them.

16  So all³⁶⁰⁵ the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was prepared³⁵⁵⁹ the same¹⁹³¹ day,³¹¹⁷ to keep⁶²¹³ the passover,⁶⁴⁵³ and to offer⁵⁹²⁷ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ according to the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Josiah.²⁹⁷⁷

17  And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that were present⁴⁶⁷² kept^{6213 853} the passover⁶⁴⁵³ at that¹⁹³¹ time,⁶²⁵⁶ and the feast²²⁸² of unleavened bread⁴⁶⁸² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days.³¹¹⁷

18  And there was no³⁸⁰⁸ passover⁶⁴⁵³ like to³⁶⁴⁴ that kept⁶²¹³ in Israel³⁴⁷⁸ from the days^{4480 3117} of Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ the prophet;⁵⁰³⁰ neither³⁸⁰⁸ did⁶²¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ keep⁶²¹³ such a passover⁶⁴⁵³ as⁸³⁴ Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ kept,⁶²¹³ and the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that were present,⁴⁶⁷² and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

19  In the eighteenth^{8083 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of the reign⁴⁴³⁸ of Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ was this²⁰⁸⁸ passover⁶⁴⁵³ kept.⁶²¹³

20  After³¹⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ this,²⁰⁶³ when⁸³⁴ Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ had prepared^{3559 853} the temple,¹⁰⁰⁴ Necho⁵²²⁴ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ came up⁵⁹²⁷ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ against Carchemish³⁷⁵¹ by⁵⁹²¹ Euphrates:⁶⁵⁷⁸ and Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ went out³³¹⁸ against⁷¹²⁵ him.

21  But he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ ambassadors⁴³⁹⁷ to⁴¹³ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ have I to do with thee, thou king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah?³⁰⁶³ I come not³⁸⁰⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ thee⁸⁵⁹ this day,³¹¹⁷ but³⁵⁸⁸ against⁴¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ wherewith I have war:⁴⁴²¹ for God⁴³⁰ commanded⁵⁵⁹ me to make haste:⁹²⁶ forbear²³⁰⁸ thee from meddling with God,^{4480 430} who⁸³⁴ is with⁵⁹⁷³ me, that he destroy⁷⁸⁴³ thee not.⁴⁰⁸

22  Nevertheless Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ would not³⁸⁰⁸ turn⁵⁴³⁷ his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ him, but³⁵⁸⁸ disguised himself,²⁶⁶⁴ that he might fight³⁸⁹⁸ with him, and hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ unto⁴¹³ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Necho⁵²²⁴ from the mouth^{4480 6310} of God,⁴³⁰ and came⁹³⁵ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ in the valley¹²³⁷ of Megiddo.⁴⁰²³

23  And the archers³³⁸⁴ shot³³⁸⁴ at king⁴⁴²⁸ Josiah;²⁹⁷⁷ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ Have me away;⁵⁶⁷⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ I am sore wounded.^{2470 3966}

24  His servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ therefore took⁵⁶⁷⁴ him out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ that chariot,⁴⁸¹⁸ and put⁷³⁹² him in⁵⁹²¹ the second⁴⁹³² chariot⁷³⁹³ that⁸³⁴ he had; and they brought¹⁹⁸⁰ him to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and he died,⁴¹⁹¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² in one of the sepulchers⁶⁹¹³ of his fathers.¹ And all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ mourned⁵⁶ for⁵⁹²¹ Josiah.²⁹⁷⁷

25  And Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ lamented⁶⁹⁶⁹ for⁵⁹²¹ Josiah:²⁹⁷⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the singing men⁷⁸⁹¹ and the singing women⁷⁸⁹¹ spoke⁵⁵⁹ of⁵⁹²¹ Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ in their lamentations⁷⁰¹⁵ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ this day,³¹¹⁷ and made⁵⁴¹⁴ them an ordinance²⁷⁰⁶ in⁵⁹²¹ Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the lamentations.⁷⁰¹⁵

26  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Josiah,²⁹⁷⁷ and his goodness,²⁶¹⁷ according to that which was written³⁷⁸⁹ in the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸

27  And his deeds,¹⁶⁹⁷ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah.³⁰⁶³

1 καὶ ἐποίησεν Ιωσιας τὸ φασεχ τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθυσαν τὸ φασεχ τῇ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου

2 καὶ ἔστησεν τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἐπὶ τὰς φυλακὰς αὐτῶν καὶ κατίσχυσεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰ ἔργα οἴκου κυρίου

3 καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς Λευίταις τοῖς δυνατοῖς ἐν παντὶ Ισραηλ τοῦ ἁγιασθῆναι αὐτοὺς τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἔθηκαν τὴν κιβωτὸν τὴν ἁγίαν εἰς τὸν οἶκον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν Σαλωμων υἱὸς Δαυιδ τοῦ βασιλέως Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς οὐκ ἔστιν ὑμῖν ἆραι ἐπ᾽ ὤμων οὐθέν νῦν οὖν λειτουργήσατε τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ ὑμῶν καὶ τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ Ισραηλ

4 καὶ ἑτοιμάσθητε κατ᾽ οἴκους πατριῶν ὑμῶν καὶ κατὰ τὰς ἐφημερίας ὑμῶν κατὰ τὴν γραφὴν Δαυιδ βασιλέως Ισραηλ καὶ διὰ χειρὸς Σαλωμων υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ

5 καὶ στῆτε ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ κατὰ τὰς διαιρέσεις οἴκων πατριῶν ὑμῶν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ὑμῶν υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ μερὶς οἴκου πατριᾶς τοῖς Λευίταις

6 καὶ θύσατε τὸ φασεχ καὶ τὰ ἅγια ἑτοιμάσατε τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ὑμῶν τοῦ ποιῆσαι κατὰ τὸν λόγον κυρίου διὰ χειρὸς Μωυσῆ

7 καὶ ἀπήρξατο Ιωσιας τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ πρόβατα καὶ ἀμνοὺς καὶ ἐρίφους ἀπὸ τῶν τέκνων τῶν αἰγῶν πάντα εἰς τὸ φασεχ εἰς πάντας τοὺς εὑρεθέντας εἰς ἀριθμὸν τριάκοντα χιλιάδας καὶ μόσχων τρεῖς χιλιάδας ταῦτα ἀπὸ τῆς ὑπάρξεως τοῦ βασιλέως

8 καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ ἀπήρξαντο τῷ λαῷ καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν καὶ Λευίταις ἔδωκεν Χελκιας καὶ Ζαχαριας καὶ Ιιηλ οἱ ἄρχοντες οἴκου τοῦ θεοῦ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν καὶ ἔδωκαν εἰς τὸ φασεχ πρόβατα καὶ ἀμνοὺς καὶ ἐρίφους δισχίλια ἑξακόσια καὶ μόσχους τριακοσίους

9 καὶ Χωνενιας καὶ Βαναιας καὶ Σαμαιας καὶ Ναθαναηλ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ Ασαβια καὶ Ιιηλ καὶ Ιωζαβαδ ἄρχοντες τῶν Λευιτῶν ἀπήρξαντο τοῖς Λευίταις εἰς τὸ φασεχ πρόβατα πεντακισχίλια καὶ μόσχους πεντακοσίους

10 καὶ κατωρθώθη ἡ λειτουργία καὶ ἔστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπὶ τὴν στάσιν αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐπὶ τὰς διαιρέσεις αὐτῶν κατὰ τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ βασιλέως

11 καὶ ἔθυσαν τὸ φασεχ καὶ προσέχεαν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὸ αἷμα ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐξέδειραν

12 καὶ ἡτοίμασαν τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν παραδοῦναι αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὴν διαίρεσιν κατ᾽ οἴκους πατριῶν τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ προσάγειν τῷ κυρίῳ ὡς γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ Μωυσῆ καὶ οὕτως εἰς τὸ πρωί

13 καὶ ὤπτησαν τὸ φασεχ ἐν πυρὶ κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν καὶ τὰ ἅγια ἥψησαν ἐν τοῖς χαλκείοις καὶ ἐν τοῖς λέβησιν καὶ εὐοδώθη καὶ ἔδραμον πρὸς πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ

14 καὶ μετὰ τὸ ἑτοιμάσαι αὐτοῖς καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ὅτι οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐν τῷ ἀναφέρειν τὰ στέατα καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ἕως νυκτός καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἡτοίμασαν αὑτοῖς καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν υἱοῖς Ααρων

15 καὶ οἱ ψαλτῳδοὶ υἱοὶ Ασαφ ἐπὶ τῆς στάσεως αὐτῶν κατὰ τὰς ἐντολὰς Δαυιδ καὶ Ασαφ καὶ Αιμαν καὶ Ιδιθων οἱ προφῆται τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ οἱ πυλωροὶ πύλης καὶ πύλης οὐκ ἦν αὐτοῖς κινεῖσθαι ἀπὸ τῆς λειτουργίας ἁγίων ὅτι οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν οἱ Λευῖται ἡτοίμασαν αὐτοῖς

16 καὶ κατωρθώθη καὶ ἡτοιμάσθη πᾶσα ἡ λειτουργία κυρίου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ φασεχ καὶ ἐνεγκεῖν τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον κυρίου κατὰ τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ βασιλέως Ιωσια

17 καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ οἱ εὑρεθέντες τὸ φασεχ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ καὶ τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας

18 καὶ οὐκ ἐγένετο φασεχ ὅμοιον αὐτῷ ἐν Ισραηλ ἀπὸ ἡμερῶν Σαμουηλ τοῦ προφήτου καὶ πάντες βασιλεῖς Ισραηλ οὐκ ἐποίησαν ὡς τὸ φασεχ ὃ ἐποίησεν Ιωσιας καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται καὶ πᾶς Ιουδα καὶ Ισραηλ ὁ εὑρεθεὶς καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ιερουσαλημ τῷ κυρίῳ

19 τῷ ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας Ιωσια
καὶ τοὺς ἐγγαστριμύθους καὶ τοὺς γνώστας καὶ τὰ θαραφιν καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα καὶ τὰ καρασιμ ἃ ἦν ἐν γῇ Ιουδα καὶ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἐνεπύρισεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ιωσιας ἵνα στήσῃ τοὺς λόγους τοῦ νόμου τοὺς γεγραμμένους ἐπὶ τοῦ βιβλίου οὗ εὗρεν Χελκιας ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ κυρίου
ὅμοιος αὐτῷ οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ ὃς ἐπέστρεψεν πρὸς κύριον ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ἰσχύι αὐτοῦ κατὰ πάντα τὸν νόμον Μωυσῆ καὶ μετ᾽ αὐτὸν οὐκ ἀνέστη ὅμοιος αὐτῷ
πλὴν οὐκ ἀπεστράφη κύριος ἀπὸ ὀργῆς θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου οὗ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ κύριος ἐν τῷ Ιουδα ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ παροργίσματα ἃ παρώργισεν Μανασσης
καὶ εἶπεν κύριος καί γε τὸν Ιουδαν ἀποστήσω ἀπὸ προσώπου μου καθὼς ἀπέστησα τὸν Ισραηλ καὶ ἀπωσάμην τὴν πόλιν ἣν ἐξελεξάμην τὴν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ τὸν οἶκον ὃν εἶπα ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ

20 καὶ ἀνέβη Φαραω Νεχαω βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων ἐπὶ τὸν ποταμὸν Εὐφράτην καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ιωσιας εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ

21 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀγγέλους λέγων τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί βασιλεῦ Ιουδα οὐκ ἐπὶ σὲ ἥκω σήμερον πόλεμον ποιῆσαι καὶ ὁ θεὸς εἶπεν κατασπεῦσαί με πρόσεχε ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ μὴ καταφθείρῃ σε

22 καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστρεψεν Ιωσιας τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἀλλ᾽ ἢ πολεμεῖν αὐτὸν ἐκραταιώθη καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν τῶν λόγων Νεχαω διὰ στόματος θεοῦ καὶ ἦλθεν τοῦ πολεμῆσαι ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ Μαγεδων

23 καὶ ἐτόξευσαν οἱ τοξόται ἐπὶ βασιλέα Ιωσιαν καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ ἐξαγάγετέ με ὅτι ἐπόνεσα σφόδρα

24 καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτὸν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἅρματος καὶ ἀνεβίβασαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα τὸ δευτερεῦον ὃ ἦν αὐτῷ καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἀπέθανεν καὶ ἐτάφη μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς Ιουδα καὶ Ιερουσαλημ ἐπένθησαν ἐπὶ Ιωσιαν

25 καὶ ἐθρήνησεν Ιερεμιας ἐπὶ Ιωσιαν καὶ εἶπαν πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ αἱ ἄρχουσαι θρῆνον ἐπὶ Ιωσιαν ἕως τῆς σήμερον καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὸν εἰς πρόσταγμα ἐπὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἰδοὺ γέγραπται ἐπὶ τῶν θρήνων

26 καὶ ἦσαν οἱ λόγοι Ιωσια καὶ ἡ ἐλπὶς αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα ἐν νόμῳ κυρίου

27 καὶ οἱ λόγοι αὐτοῦ οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ βασιλέων Ισραηλ καὶ Ιουδα

1 Fecit autem Josias in Jerusalem Phase Domino, quod immolatum est quartadecima die mensis primi:

2 et constituit sacerdotes in officiis suis, hortatusque est eos ut ministrarent in domo Domini:

3 Levitis quoque, ad quorum eruditionem omnis Israël sanctificabatur Domino, locutus est: Ponite arcam in sanctuario templi, quod ædificavit Salomon filius David rex Israël, nequaquam enim eam ultra portabitis: nunc autem ministrate Domino Deo vestro, et populo ejus Israël.

4 Et præparate vos per domos et cognationes vestras in divisionibus singulorum, sicut præcepit David rex Israël, et descripsit Salomon filius ejus.

5 Et ministrate in sanctuario per familias turmasque Leviticas,

6 et sanctificati immolate Phase: fratres etiam vestros, ut possint juxta verba quæ locutus est Dominus in manu Moysi facere, præparate.

7 Dedit præterea Josias omni populo qui ibi fuerat inventus in solemnitate Phase, agnos et hædos de gregibus et reliqui pecoris triginta millia, boum quoque tria millia: hæc de regis universa substantia.

8 Duces quoque ejus sponte quod voverant, obtulerunt, tam populo quam sacerdotibus et Levitis. Porro Helcias, et Zacharias, et Jahiel principes domus Domini dederunt sacerdotibus ad faciendum Phase pecora commixtim duo millia sexcenta, et boves trecentos.

9 Chonenias autem, et Semeias, etiam Nathanaël fratres ejus, necnon Hasabias, et Jehiel, et Jozabad principes Levitarum, dederunt ceteris Levitis ad celebrandum Phase quinque millia pecorum, et boves quingentos.

10 Præparatumque est ministerium, et steterunt sacerdotes in officio suo: Levitæ quoque in turmis, juxta regis imperium.

11 Et immolatum est Phase: asperseruntque sacerdotes manu sua sanguinem, et Levitæ detraxerunt pelles holocaustorum:

12 et separaverunt ea ut darent per domos et familias singulorum, et offerrentur Domino, sicut scriptum est in libro Moysi: de bobus quoque fecerunt similiter.

13 Et assaverunt Phase super ignem, juxta quod in lege scriptum est: pacificas vero hostias coxerunt in lebetibus, et cacabis, et ollis, et festinato distribuerunt universæ plebi:

14 sibi autem et sacerdotibus postea paraverunt, nam in oblatione holocaustorum et adipum usque ad noctem sacerdotes fuerunt occupati, unde Levitæ sibi et sacerdotibus filiis Aaron paraverunt novissimis.

15 Porro cantores filii Asaph stabant in ordine suo, juxta præceptum David, et Asaph, et Heman, et Idithun prophetarum regis: janitores vero per portas singulas observabant, ita ut nec puncto quidem discederent a ministerio: quam ob rem et fratres eorum Levitæ paraverunt eis cibos.

16 Omnis igitur cultura Domini rite completa est in die illa, ut facerent Phase, et offerrent holocausta super altare Domini, juxta præceptum regis Josiæ.

17 Feceruntque filii Israël, qui reperti fuerant ibi, Phase in tempore illo, et solemnitatem azymorum septem diebus.

18 Non fuit Phase simile huic in Israël a diebus Samuelis prophetæ: sed nec quisquam de cunctis regibus Israël fecit Phase sicut Josias, sacerdotibus, et Levitis, et omni Judæ et Israël qui repertus fuerat, et habitantibus in Jerusalem.

19 Octavodecimo anno regni Josiæ hoc Phase celebratum est.

20 Postquam instauraverat Josias templum, ascendit Nechao rex Ægypti ad pugnandum in Charcamis juxta Euphraten: et processit in occursum ejus Josias.

21 At ille, missis ad eum nuntiis, ait: Quid mihi et tibi est, rex Juda? non adversum te hodie venio, sed contra aliam pugno domum, ad quam me Deus festinato ire præcepit: desine adversum Deum facere, qui mecum est, ne interficiat te.

22 Noluit Josias reverti, sed præparavit contra eum bellum, nec acquievit sermonibus Nechao ex ore Dei: verum perrexit ut dimicaret in campo Mageddo.

23 Ibique vulneratus a sagittariis, dixit pueris suis: Educite me de prælio, quia oppido vulneratus sum.

24 Qui transtulerunt eum de curru in alterum currum, qui sequebatur eum more regio, et asportaverunt eum in Jerusalem: mortuusque est, et sepultus in mausoleo patrum suorum, et universus Juda et Jerusalem luxerunt eum.

25 Jeremias maxime: cujus omnes cantores atque cantatrices, usque in præsentem diem, lamentationes super Josiam replicant, et quasi lex obtinuit in Israël: Ecce scriptum fertur in lamentationibus.

26 Reliqua autem sermonum Josiæ, et misericordiarum ejus, quæ lege præcepta sunt Domini,

27 opera quoque illius prima et novissima, scripta sunt in libro regum Juda et Israël.
