And they put it ,.... The king's ministers did: in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the Lord ; whose business it was to inspect the temple, and see what repairs were necessary, and to overlook the workmen in making those repairs; the names of these overseers are in 2 Chronicles 34:12 , and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and mend the house ; that is, the overseers gave the money they received to the... read more

Even to the artificers and builders gave they it ,.... To the masons and carpenters: to buy hewn stone ; to put in the room of that which was decayed or fallen down: and timber for couplings ; of boards, beams, and rafters: and to floor the houses ; the chambers, the apartments in the temple, which belonged to the priests and Levites: which the kings of Judah had destroyed ; the idolatrous ones, who had let them go to decay and ruin, taking no care of them. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 34:2

He declined neither to the right hand , nor to the left - He never swerved from God and truth; he never omitted what he knew to be his duty to God and his kingdom; he carried on his reformation with a steady hand; timidity did not prevent him from going far enough; and zeal did not lead him beyond due bounds. He walked in the golden mean, and his moderation was known unto all men. He went neither to the right nor to the left, he looked inward, looked forward, and looked... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 34:4

The altars of Baalim - How often have these been broken down, and how soon set up again! We see that the religion of a land is as the religion of its king. If the king were idolatrous, up went the altars, on them were placed the statues, and the smoke of incense ascended in ceaseless clouds to the honor of that which is vanity, and nothing to the world; on the other hand, when the king was truly religious, down went the idolatrous altars, broken in pieces were the images, and the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 34:6

The cities of Manasseh - Even those who were under the government of the Israelitish king permitted their idols and places of idolatry to be hewn down and destroyed: after the truth was declared and acknowledged, the spade and the axe were employed to complete the reformation. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 34:9

And they returned to Jerusalem - Instead of וישבו vaiyashubu , "they returned," we should read יושבי yoshebey , "the inhabitants;" a reading which is supported by many MSS., printed editions, and all the versions, as well as by necessity and common sense. See the note on 2 Chronicles 19:8 , where a similar mistake is rectified. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 34:1-7

Josiah the good. I. HIS EARLY ACCESSION . "Josiah ['Whom Jehovah heals'] was eight years old when he began to reign" ( 2 Chronicles 34:1 ). Manasseh, Uzziah, and Joash had been twelve, sixteen, and seven respectively when they ascended the throne. Generally speaking, it is perilous to have greatness thrust upon one at too early an age; sometimes premature responsibility calls forth capacities that might otherwise have continued latent.
