James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 35:1-27

MANASSEH TO THE CAPTIVITY MANASSEH AND AMON (2 Chronicles 33:0 ) The history of the first-named is divided into three parts: (1) the outline of his character and reign down to the crisis of his punishment (2 Chronicles 33:1-10 ); (2) his affliction and repentance in Babylon (2 Chronicles 33:11-13 ); and (3) his later career and death (2 Chronicles 33:14-20 ). The first part was considered in Kings. For the reference to “groves” and “the host of heaven,” compare Deuteronomy 16:21 ;... read more

2Ch 35:1 , 2Ch 35:18 "Josiah [ 2Ki 23:21-22 ] kept a passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. [Not at an irregular time like Hezekiah (chap. 2Ch 30:2 ), but on the day appointed by the law ( Exo 12:6 )]. "And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel... read more

Offered. Heb. "gave to the people." H. --- Rulers: the first alone was high priest. C. --- Small cattle: literally, cattle of different sorts;" commixtim. Protestants supply, "small cattle," which is not in Hebrew. H. --- Syriac and Arabic have, "sheep;" but we had best follow (C.) the Sept. "sheep, both lambs and kids." Either would suffice, Ex. xii. 5. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 35:1-19

1-19 The destruction Josiah made of idolatry, was more largely related in the book of Kings. His solemnizing the passover is related here. The Lord's supper resembles the passover more than any other of the Jewish festivals; and the due observance of that ordinance, is a proof of growing piety and devotion. God alone can truly make our hearts holy, and prepare them for his holy services; but there are duties belonging to us, in doing which we obtain this blessing from the Lord. read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Chronicles 35:1-15

a Memorable Passover 2 Chronicles 35:1-15 This Passover was memorable, not only for the imposing grandeur of the ceremonial, and the concourse of worshipers, but because of the strict adherence, even in minute particulars, to the prescriptions of the Law. Josiah was the soul and life of the movement. First the Levites were addressed, and reminded that as they were not required to carry the Ark from place to place, as in the days of the Exodus, they might fitly undertake other work and assist... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 35:1-27

This chapter gives us the story of the great Passover, in which, following in the steps of Hezekiah, after the cleansing of the land and the restoration of the people Josiah thus restored the great feast of the Exodus. In the account of the joy following the Passover of Hezekiah, comparison is made with the times of Solomon. Under Josiah this goes further back than Solomon, and declares that none like it was kept by any king. Following the story of his death we read of the lamentation of the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 35:1-27

2 Chronicles 34:1 to 2 Chronicles 35:27 . The Reign of Josiah.— See notes on 2 Kings 22, 2 Kings 23:1-Amos :, which form the basis of the Chronicler’ s account; but he has made many alterations in accordance with his general tendencies. One important difference between the two accounts is that, according to the Chronicler, Josiah’ s Reformation takes place before the finding of the book of the Law, an obviously illogical sequence; but the Chronicler desires to emphasize Josiah’ s piety even in... read more
