2 Chronik 35:17-18

17 Und die Kinder Israel, die sich vorfanden, feierten das Passah zu selbiger Zeit, und das Fest der ungesäuerten Brote sieben Tage lang.

18 Und es war kein solches Passah in Israel gefeiert worden wie dieses, seit den Tagen Samuels, des Propheten; und alle Könige von Israel hatten kein Passah gefeiert wie dasjenige, welches Josia feierte und die Priester und die Leviten und ganz Juda und Israel, das sich vorfand, und die Bewohner von Jerusalem.

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 35

In this chapter we have an account of the keeping of the passover and its preparation, for which the priests and Levites were ordered to prepare, and to which Josiah, and his princes, gave liberally, and such an one was kept as had not been for ages past, 2Ch 35:1-19, and of Josiah's rash engagement in battle with the king of Egypt, in which he was slain, 2Ch 35:20-23 and of the great lamentations that were made for him, 2Ch 35:24-27.
