Contextual Overview
1 Then Josiah kept the Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem. They killed the Passover animals on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2 He gave the religious leaders their duties and gave them strength to do the work of the Lord's house. 3 And he said to the Levites who taught all Israel and who were holy to the Lord, "Put the holy box of the agreement in the house which Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built. You do not need to carry it on your shoulders any longer. Now work for the Lord your God and His people Israel. 4 Make yourselves ready by your fathers' houses in your groups, in the way that was written by King David of Israel and his son Solomon. 5 Stand in the holy place by the family groups of your brothers who are not religious leaders. And let some of the Levites help each family group of the people. 6 Now kill the Passover animals, and make yourselves holy. Make things ready for your brothers to obey the word of the Lord by Moses." 7 Then Josiah gave flocks of lambs and young goats as Passover gifts for all the people who were there. He gave 30,000 of them, and 3,000 bulls. These were from the king's animals. 8 His leaders also gave a free-will gift to the people, the religious leaders, and the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah and Jehiel, the leaders of the house of God, gave 2,600 animals from the flocks and 300 bulls to the religious leaders for the Passover gifts. 9 Conaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethanel his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel and Jozabad, the leaders of the Levites, gave 5,000 animals from the flocks and 500 bulls to the Levites for the Passover gifts. 10 So everything was made ready for the Passover. The religious leaders stood in their places, and the Levites stood by their groups, as the king had told them.

after your courses: The regulations formed by David, and established by Solomon, concerning the courses of the priests and Levites, were committed to writing, and preserved, for them to refer to continually.
