2 Chronicles 35:3-11
3He told the Levites, who instructed all Israel about things consecrated to the Lord, “Place the holy ark in the temple which King Solomon son of David of Israel built. Don’t carry it on your shoulders. Now serve the Lord your God and his people Israel!
4Prepare yourselves by your families according to your divisions, as instructed by King David of Israel and his son Solomon.
5Stand in the sanctuary and, together with the Levites, represent the family divisions of your countrymen.
6Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, and make preparations for your countrymen to do what the Lord commanded through Moses.”
7From his own royal flocks and herds, Josiah supplied the people with 30,000 lambs and goats for the Passover sacrifice, as well as 3,000 cattle.
8His officials also willingly contributed to the people, priests, and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the leaders of God’s temple, supplied 2,600 Passover sacrifices and 300 cattle.
9Konaniah and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, along with Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the officials of the Levites, supplied the Levites with 5,000 Passover sacrifices and 500 cattle.
10Preparations were made, and the priests stood at their posts and the Levites in their divisions as prescribed by the king.
11They slaughtered the Passover lambs and the priests splashed the blood, while the Levites skinned the animals.
