2 Chronicles 35:9 In-Context

7 Josiah personally donated 30,000 sheep, lambs, and goats and 3,000 bulls - everything needed for the Passover celebration was there.

8 His officials also pitched in on behalf of the people, including the priests and the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, leaders in The Temple of God, gave 2,600 lambs and 300 bulls to the priests for the Passover offerings.

9 Conaniah, his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, along with the Levitical chiefs Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, donated 5,000 lambs and 500 bulls to the Levites for the Passover offerings.

10 Preparations were complete for the service of worship; the priests took up their positions and the Levites were at their posts as instructed by the king.

11 They killed the Passover lambs, and while the priests sprinkled the blood from the lambs, the Levites skinned them out.
