2 Chronicles 35:1-9

1Then Josiah 1celebrated the Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem, and 2they slaughtered the Passover animals on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2He appointed the priests to their offices and 3encouraged them in the service of the house of the Lord. 3He also said to 4the Levites who taught all Israel and who were holy to the Lord, “Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built; 5it will not be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve the Lord your God and His people Israel. 46Prepare yourselves by your fathers’ households in your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel and 7according to the writing of his son Solomon. 5Furthermore, 8stand in the holy place according to the sections of the fathers’ households of your countrymen, the 9lay people, and according to the Levites, by division of a father’s household. 6Now 10slaughter the Passover animals, 11keep one another consecrated, and prepare for your countrymen to act in accordance with the word of the Lord by Moses.”

7Josiah contributed to the lay people, to all who were present, flocks of lambs and young goats, all for the Passover offerings, numbering thirty thousand, plus three thousand bulls; these were from the king’s property. 8His officers also contributed a 12voluntary offering to the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, 13the officials of the house of God, gave the priests 2,600 from the flocks and three hundred bulls, for the Passover offerings. 914Conaniah also, and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the officers of the Levites, contributed five thousand from the flocks and five hundred bulls to the Levites for the Passover offerings.
