DIVRE HAYAMIM BET – SECOND CHRONICLES
fourteenth day of the first month.
2 And he set the Kohanim in their duties, and
encouraged them to the service of the Bayit of vuvh,
3 And said to the Lewiym that taught kol Yisrael, who
were kadosh to vuvh, Put the kadosh Ark in the Bayit
which Shlomo the son of Dawid melech of Yisrael did
build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders:
serve vuvh your Elohim, and His people Yisrael,
4 And prepare yourselves by the houses of your ahvot,
after your divisions, according to the writing of Dawid
melech of Yisrael, and according to the writing of
Shlomo his son.
5 And stand in the Kadosh-Place according to the
divisions of the mishpachot of the ahvot of your
brothers the people, and after the division of the
mishpachot of the Lewiym.
6 So kill the Pesach, and set yourselves apart, and
prepare your brothers, so that they may do according to
the word of vuvh by the hand of Moshe.
7 And Yoshiyahu gave to the people, from the flock,
lambs and kids, all for the Pesach offerings, for all that
were present, to the number of thirty three thousand
bullocks: these were of the melech’s substance.
8 And his rulers gave willingly to the people, to the
Kohanim, and to the Lewiym: Hilkiyahu and Zacharyah
and Yehi-El, rulers of the Bayit of Elohim, they gave to
the Kohanim for the Pesach offerings two thousand six
hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
9 Chananyahu also, and Shemayahu and Natan-El, his
brothers, and Hashavyahu and Yei-El and Yozavad,
head of the Lewiym, gave to the Lewiym for Pesach
offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred
oxen.
10 So the service was prepared, and the Kohanim stood
in their place, and the Lewiym in their courses,
according to the melech’s commandment.
11 And they killed the Pesach, and the Kohanim
sprinkled the dahm from their hands, and the Lewiym
skinned them.
12 And they removed the burnt offerings, so that they
might give according to the divisions of the mishpachot
of the people, to offer to vuvh, as it is written in the
scroll of Moshe. And so they did with the oxen.
13 And they roasted the Pesach with fire according to
the ordinance: but the other kadosh offerings they
cooked 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 Kohanim: because the Kohanim the sons of
Aharon were busy in offering the burnt offerings and
the fat until night; therefore the Lewiym prepared for
themselves, and for the Kohanim the sons of Aharon.
15 And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their
places, according to the commandment of Dawid, and
Asaph, and Heman, and Yeduthun the melech’s seer;
and the gatekeepers waited at every gate; they might not
depart from their service; for their brothers the Lewiym
prepared for them.
16 So all the service of vuvh was prepared the same day,
to keep the Pesach, and to offer burnt offerings upon the
altar of vuvh, according to the commandment of melech
Yoshiyahu.
17 And the children of Yisrael 4373 that were
- 586 -
present 4374 kept the Pesach at that time, and the moed
of Chag Matzoth seven days.
18 And there was no Pesach like that one kept in Yisrael
from the days of Schmuel the navi; neither did all the
melechim of Yisrael 4375 ever shomer such a Pesach as
Yoshiyahu kept, and the Kohanim, and the Lewiym, and
all Yahudah and Yisrael that were present, 4376 and the
inhabitants of Yahrushalayim.
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Yoshiyahu was
this Pesach kept.
20 After all this, when Yoshiyahu had prepared the
Bayit, Necho melech of Mitzrayim came up to fight
against Carchemish by the Euphrates River: and
Yoshiyahu went out against him.
21 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I
to do with you, you melech of Yahudah? I come not
against you this day, but against the bayit with which I
have war: for Elohim commanded me to hurry: refrain
from meddling with Elohim, who is with me, that He
does not destroy you.
22 Nevertheless Yoshiyahu would not turn his face from
him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him,
and listened not to the words of Necho from the mouth
of Elohim, and came to fight in the Valley of Megiddo.
23 And the archers shot at melech Yoshiyahu; and the
melech said to his avadim, Take me away; for I am
severely wounded.
24 His avadim therefore took him out of that mirkavah,
and put him in the second mirkavah that he had; and
they brought him to Yahrushalayim, and he died, and
was buried in one of the tombs of his ahvot. And all
Yahudah and Yahrushalayim mourned for Yoshiyahu.
25 And Yirmeyahu lamented for Yoshiyahu: and all the
singing men and the singing women spoke of
Yoshiyahu in their lamentations until this day, and made
them an ordinance in Yisrael: and, see, they are written
in the lamentations.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Yoshiyahu, and his tov
mitzvoth, according to that which was written in the
Torah of vuvh:
27 And his mitzvoth, the first and last, see, they are
written in the Scroll of the Melechim of Yisrael and
Yahudah.
36
Then the people of the land took Yahuachaz the son
of Yoshiyahu, and made him melech in his abba’s place
in Yahrushalayim.
2 Yahuachaz was twenty-three years old when he began
to reign, and he reigned three months in Yahrushalayim.
3 And the melech of Mitzrayim turned aside and took
Yahrushalayim, and imposed on the land a hundred
talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 And the melech of Mitzrayim made Elyakim his
brother melech over Yahudah and Yahrushalayim, and
changed his name to Yahuyakim. And Necho took
Yahuachaz his brother, and carried him to Mitzrayim.
5 Yahuyakim was twenty-five years old when he began
to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Yahrushalayim:
and he did that which was evil in the sight of vuvh his
Elohim.
6 Against him came up Nevuchadnetzar melech of
Bavel, and bound him in bronze shackles, to carry him
to Bavel.
