and Hashabiah, and Jehiel, and Jozabad, chief of the Levites;
men of considerable substance, and in good posts and offices:

gave unto the Levites;
their poor brethren of that order:

for passover offerings five thousand small cattle;
lambs, or kids, or both:

and five hundred oxen;
for the feast that followed the passover.

2 Chronicles 35:9 In-Context

7 And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks; these were of the king’s substance.

8 And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand six hundred sheep and three hundred oxen.

9 Conaniah, likewise, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, princes of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for the sacrifices of the passover five thousand sheep, and five hundred oxen.

10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites, likewise, in their courses, according to the king’s commandment.

11 And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood taken from the hands of the Levites who flayed them.
