Priestes Leuites stoode goodly in their order and had the vnleauened bread throughout the tribes 11 And after the degrees of preheminence appoynted to their fathers to offer to the Lord in the sight of the people according as it is written in the booke of Moyses and thus dyd they in the mornyng 12 And they rosted the Easter lambe with fire as according was As for the offeringes they dight them in

holde the passouer 18 And offer sacrifices vpon the aulter of the Lorde according to the commaundement of king Iosias 19 So the children of Israel which were then present helde a honourable passouer and the feast of sweete bread seuen dayes long 20 Yea suche a passouer was not kept in Israel from the tyme of the prophete Samuel 21 And all the kinges of Israel helde not such an Easter as this which king Iosias held and the Priestes the Leuites the Iewes and all Israel of all them that were at Hierusalem 22 In the eyghteenth yere of the raigne of Iosias was this passouer kept 23 And with an

haue I to do with thee O king of Iudea 27 I am not sent of the Lorde God against thee for my warre is vpon Euphrates and nowe the Lorde is with me yea the Lorde maketh diligent speede with me depart from me and be not against the Lorde 28 Howbeit Iosias woulde not turne backe his chariot from hym but vndertoke to fight with him and hearkened not to the wordes of the prophete Ieremie spoken by the mouth of the Lorde 29 But pitched a battayle against him in the fielde of Mageddo And the princes preassed to king Iosias 30 Then sayd the king vnto his seruauntes Cary me away out of the battayle for I am very weake And immediatly his seruauntes toke hym away out of the frunt of the battayle 31 Then gate he vp vpon the second charet came to Hierusalem dyed and was buried in his fathers sepulchre 32 And in all Iurie they mourned for Iosias yea Ieremie the prophete lamented for Iosias and the rulers also with their wyues made lamentation for hym vnto this day and it became a custome to be done continually in all the kinred of Israel 33 These things are written in the booke of the stories of the kinges of Iuda and all the actes of Iosias his glory and vnderstanding in the lawe of the Lord and the thinges which he had done before and that was nowe recited are written in the booke of the kynges of Israel and Iuda 34 And the people toke Iechonias the sonne of Iosias and made him king in steede of Iosias his father when he was twentie and three yeres olde 25 And he raigned in Iuda and in Hierusalem three monethes and then the kyng of Egypt put hym downe from raigning in Hierusalem 36 And raysed vp a taxe of the people namely an hundred talentes of syluer and one talent of golde 37 The kyng of Egypt also made Ioachim his brother king of Iuda and Hierusalem 38 And thus he bounde Ioachim and his gouernours but Zaracen his brother he apprehended led away with him into Egypt 39 Fiue and twentie yeres olde was Ioachim when he was made kyng in the lande of Iuda and Hierusalem and he dyd euyll before the Lorde 40 Wherfore against hym Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came vp and bounde hym with bandes of iron and caryed hym vnto Babylon 41 Nabuchodonosor also toke of the holy vessels of the lord caryed them away set thē in his owne temple at Babylon 42 But all his actes and his prophanation and reproche are written in the chronicles of the kinges 43 And Ioachim his sonne raigned in his steede He was made king beyng eyghteene yeres olde 44 And raigned but three monethes and ten dayes in Hierusalem and dyd euyll before the Lorde 45 So after a yere Nabuchodonosor sent and caused him to be brought vnto Babylon with the holy vessels of the Lord. 46 And made Zedechias king of Iuda and Hierusalem when he was twentie and one yeres olde and he raigned a leuen yeres 47 And he did euill also in the sight of the Lord and cared not for the wordes that were spoken vnto him by the prophete Ieremie from the mouth of the Lord. 48 And where he had made an oth vnto

Anatnas and Biatas the Leuites lyft vp their handes and fell downe on the grounde and worshipped the Lord 49 And taught the lawe of the Lord and were earnestly occupied together in the reading thereof 50 Then spake Atharates vnto Esdras the hye priest and reader and to the Leuites that taught the multitude saying 51 This day is holy vnto the Lord and all when they hearde the lawe wept 52 So Esdras sayde Depart your way therfore and eate the fat meates and drinke the sweete drinkes and sende gyftes vnto them that haue nothing 53 For this day is holy vnto the Lorde and be not ye sory for the Lorde wyll bryng you to honour 54 So the Leuites published all these thinges to the people saying This day is holy to the Lorde be not sory 55 Then went they their way euery one to eate and drinke and
