By this time Assyrian power had weakened considerably, which enabled Josiah to carry out his reformation program without interference from outside.

It was very common, both in the ancient Near East generally and in Israel, for kings to marry very young and to father children when they were early teenagers. [Note: Nadav Na’aman, "Historical and Chronological Notes on the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah in the Eighth Century B.C.," Vetus Testamentum 36 (1986):83-91.] The years Josiah ruled were 640-609... read more

2. Josiah’s reforms 22:3-23:27Josiah began to seek Yahweh when he was 16 years old and began initiating religious reforms when he was 20 (2 Chronicles 34:3-7).

A Talk to Boys and Girls 2 Kings 22:1-2 Two verses, and yet that is a miniature of the good King Josiah, in which six things are told us about him. I. He Made an Early Start. He was eight years old when he began to reign. These duties were laid upon him when he was quite a young boy and the first thing we learn from him is to make an early start. II. He Had a Very Long Race. He reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. It is not enough to make an early start; we want to run a long race, keeping... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 22:1-20

JOSIAH'S GOOD REIGN (22:1 - 23:30) From Josiah's beginning to reign at eight years of age, his reign was faithful and godly, for he walked in the ways of David, the first of Israel's godly kings (v.2), just as we today should gain our instructions from the first days of Christianity rather than from men who have followed through the years. How much more important is the teaching of the apostles whom the Lord appointed than that of Martin Luther, J.N. Darby or any other outstanding man of... read more
