1-3. Moreover Josiah kept a passover—(See on :-). The first nine verses give an account of the preparations made for the celebration of the solemn feast [ :-]. The day appointed by the law was kept on this occasion (compare 2 Chronicles 30:2; 2 Chronicles 30:13). The priests were ranged in their courses and exhorted to be ready for their duties in the manner that legal purity required (compare 2 Chronicles 30:13- :).

2. Josiah’s Passover 35:1-19As Hezekiah had done, Josiah led his people in observing the Passover, that greatest feast of Israel that commemorated her redemption from Egyptian slavery. Josiah’s Passover was even greater than Hezekiah’s, which Hezekiah had put together quickly (2 Chronicles 35:18; cf. 2 Chronicles 29:36). Josiah offered almost twice as many sacrifices as Hezekiah did (2 Chronicles 30:24), but far fewer than Solomon did at the temple dedication (2 Chronicles 7:5). The writer’s... read more

P. Josiah chs. 34-35Like Amon’s death (2 Chronicles 33:24), Josiah’s was unnecessarily premature. However, unlike Amon, Josiah was one of Judah’s reformers."Josiah instituted the most thorough of all the OT reforms . . ." [Note: Idem, "1, 2 Chronicles," p. 549.] "Despite this, however, Josiah is not so significant a monarch overall for the Chronicler as he is for the earlier historian [i.e., the writer of Kings]. Much that he records is now to be understood as recapitulation of Hezekiah’s work,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Chronicles 35:1

(1) Moreover.—And. The form of the Hebrew verb implies that this Passover was held subsequently to the renewal of the covenant; and 2 Kings 23:23 fixes the date precisely as “the eighteenth year of king Josiah.”Kept.—Made (2 Chronicles 30:1).On the fourteenth day of the first month.—In strict accordance with the law.

(3) The Levites that taught all Israel.—In the law (Nehemiah 8:7; comp. also 2 Chronicles 17:8-9).Which were holy unto the Lord.—Separated to His service (Exodus 28:36, “Holiness to the Lord,” the inscription on Aaron’s mitre),Put the holy ark in the house.—This command implies that the ark had been removed from its place in the inner sanctuary. The removal probably took place under Manasseh or his son, with the object of saving the sacred symbol from profanation. Or perhaps the repair of the... read more

THE LAST KINGS OF JUDAH2 Chronicles 34:1-33; 2 Chronicles 35:1-27; 2 Chronicles 36:1-23WHATEVER influence Manasseh’s reformation exercised over his people generally, the taint of idolatry was not removed from his own family. His son Amon succeeded him at the age of two-and-twenty. Into his reign of two years he compressed all the varieties of wickedness once practiced by his father, and undid the good work of Manasseh’s later years. He recovered the graven images which Manasseh had discarded,... read more

CHAPTER 35 The Keeping of the Passover and Josiah’s Death 1. The Passover kept (2 Chronicles 35:1-19 ) 2. The death of Josiah (2 Chronicles 35:20-27 ) In the eighteenth year of his reign, Josiah, like his great-grandfather Hezekiah, kept the Passover. No doubt the reading of the law had made this feast once more an urgent necessity. Moreover they had made a solemn covenant “to walk after the LORD, to keep His commandments, His testimonies and His statutes, and to perform the words of the... read more
