A Passover Like No Other

Name Date

Read and Think

In the eighteenth year of his reign, Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem. He set the priests in their offices and encouraged them. He told the Levites to put the holy ark in Solomon's house, for they no longer had to carry it on their shoulders. Now serve Yahweh your God and his people Israel.

Josiah gave the people thirty thousand lambs and kids and three thousand cattle from his own possessions. His princes gave willingly to the people, priests, and Levites. The singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place, and the gatekeepers stayed at every gate, because the Levites prepared for them.

No Passover like it had been kept in Israel since Samuel the prophet. Later Neco king of Egypt marched to Carchemish, and Josiah went out against him. Neco warned that God had commanded him and that Josiah should not oppose God. Josiah did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God. He was wounded and died, and Jeremiah lamented for him.
