And they slaughtered the Passover lambs, while the priests splattered the blood handed to them and the Levites skinned the animals.
The destruction which Josiah made of idols and idolatry was more largely related in the Kings, but just mentioned here in the foregoing chapter (v. 33); but his solemnizing the passover, which was touched upon there (Kg2 23:21), is very particularly related here. Many were the feasts of the Lord, appointed by the ceremonial law, but the passover was the chief.
Commenting on 2 Chronicles 35:1-19
And they killed the passover,.... The lambs for the passover, which was done by the Levites: and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands; which they received from the Levites, see Ch2 30:16. and the Levites flayed them; the passover lambs, took off their skins.
And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood] from their hands, and the Levites flayed [them]. (f) Meaning, of the lamb, which was called the passover, for only the priests could sprinkle, and in necessity the Levites could kill the sacrifice.
