17
So the things that had to do with the sacrifices to the Lord were accomplished that day: the passover was kept
18
and the sacrifices were offered on the altar of the Lord, according to the command of King Josiah.
19
And the people of Israel who were present at that time kept the passover and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
20
No passover like it had been kept in Israel since the times of Samuel the prophet;
21
none of the kings of Israel had kept such a passover as was kept by Josiah and the priests and Levites and the men of Judah and all of Israel who were dwelling in Jerusalem.
