2 Chronicles 35:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ No Passover like this one had been observed in Israel since the days of the prophet Samuel, nor had any of the kings of Israel ever celebrated a Passover as was kept by Josiah, by the priests and the Levites, by all the people of Judah and Israel who were there, and by the inhabitants of Jerusalem. ¹⁹ This Passover was celebrated in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah.

²⁰ Josiah’s Reign Ends. After all this had occurred and Josiah had restored the temple, Neco, the king of Egypt, went forth to attack Carchemish on the Euphrates, and Josiah marched out to confront him.
