10 So the service was prepared, and the priests ^astood in their places, and the ^bLevites in their divisions, according to the king’s command.

11 And they slaughtered the Passover offerings; and the priests ^asprinkled the blood with their hands, while the Levites ^bskinned the animals.

12 Then they removed the burnt offerings that they might give them to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the lay people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written ^ain the Book of Moses. And so they did with the cattle.

13 Also they ^aroasted the Passover offerings with fire according to the ordinance; but the other holy offerings they ^bboiled in pots, in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them quickly among all the lay people.

14 Then afterward they prepared portions for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were busy in offering burnt offerings and fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared portions for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.

15 And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their places, according to the ^acommand of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer. Also the gatekeepers ^bwere at each gate; they did not have to leave their position, because their brethren the Levites prepared portions 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 command of King Josiah.

17 And the children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the Feast of ^aUnleavened Bread for seven days.

18 ^aThere had been no Passover kept in Israel like that since the days of Samuel the prophet; and none of the kings of Israel had kept such a Passover as Josiah kept, with the priests and the Levites, all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept.
