Context of 2 Chronicles 35:17
15The singers (Asaph’s descendants) were in their places as David, Asaph, Heman, and the king’s seer Jeduthun had commanded. The gatekeepers were stationed at each gate. They didn’t need to leave their work, because their relatives, the Levites, prepared ⌞animals⌟ for them. 16So everything was arranged that day for the worship of the Lord. The Passover was celebrated, and the burnt offerings were sacrificed on the Lord’s altar as King Josiah had commanded. The Israelites who were present celebrated the Passover at that time. They also celebrated the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days. 18Never had a Passover like this been celebrated in Israel during the time of the prophet Samuel or the kings of Israel. They did not celebrate the Passover as Josiah celebrated it with priests, Levites, all of Judah, the people of Israel who could be found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 19In the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was celebrated.
