The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Kings 23:1-37

2 Kings 23:0 1. And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. 2. And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the Lord. [It has been pointed out that there were not more than two or three prophets in... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Kings 23:31-37

We are hastening now to the period of Judah's history, as a kingdom. Three short months Jehoahaz reigned; and then was made a prisoner. The prophet Ezekiel laments him under the similitude of a young lion. Ezekiel 19:1-3 . And Jeremiah, who taught the people to mourn over Josiah, (2 Chronicles 35:25 ) lamented the obstinacy and disobedience of his son. Jeremiah 22:10-12 . Another of Josiah's children was made king, when Jehoahaz was carried away captive. But neither the captivity of his... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 23:31

Old. Eliacim his brother was 25. (Haydock) --- Perhaps Joachaz was esteemed more by the people, as fitter to defend them against the king of Egypt, who had proceeded on his journey to attack Charchamis on the Euphrates. (Calmet) --- Having placed a garrison in it, he was met by Joachaz, and gained a victory over him at Rebla, (Haydock) as Sanctius gathers from Ezechiel xix. 4. Hence he treated the captive king with such severity, and sent him into Egypt to die in chains, Jeremias xxii. 11.... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 23:31-37

31-37 After Josiah was laid in his grave, one trouble came on another, till, in twenty-two years, Jerusalem was destroyed. The wicked perished in great numbers, the remnant were purified, and Josiah's reformation had raised up some to join the few who were the precious seed of their future church and nation. A little time, and slender abilities, often suffice to undo the good which pious men have, for a course of years, been labouring to effect. But, blessed be God, the good work which he... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Kings 23:31-37

The Reign of Jehoahaz and of Jehoiakim v. 31. Jehoahaz, whom the people of the country had anointed king in preference to his brother Eliakim, was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. Before his accession to the throne he had borne the name Shallum, Jeremiah 22:11. v. 32. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, a wicked son of a God-fearing father, ... read more

in the Hands of Heathen foes 2 Kings 23:26-37 Josiah’s life ended in terrible disaster. He persisted in measuring himself in battle against the king of Egypt in a quarrel which was none of his, and thus met his death. The events of this paragraph are fully narrated in 2 Chronicles 35:1-27 , and are corroborated by the Greek historian, Herodotus, and by the sculptures on this Pharaoh’s tomb. The story of Jehoiakim should also be studied in the pages of Jeremiah- Jeremiah 22:1-30 ; Jeremiah... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 23:1-37

In this chapter we have a graphic account of the reformation following the discovery of the book of the Law. It was carried out by the splendid enthusiasm and energy of Josiah, and it is interesting to note its process. First came the public reading of the book of the Law. This was followed by a covenant into which all entered to restore the lost order. Immediately succeeding, the work went forward, and a simple reading of the story shows how thoroughly, so far as the king was concerned, the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 23:31-35

The Reign Of Jehoahaz King of Judah (609 BC) - (2 Kings 23:31-35 ). Jehoahaz, who was Josiah’s fourth son, was given the unenviable task of replacing Josiah, knowing full well that the wrath of Egypt would inevitably fall on Judah as a result of Josiah’s action against Pharaoh, and sure enough within three months, having himself approached Pharaoh Necoh at Riblah, he found himself in bonds and carried off to Egypt as a royal hostage, with the land of Judah being put to harsh tribute. And yet... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 23:31-37

The Last Days Of Judah (2 Kings 23:31 to 2 Kings 25:26 ). As Huldah had forewarned the death of Josiah signalled the beginning of the end for Judah, and in fact within twenty five years of his death (in 609 BC) Jerusalem would be no more. Jehoahaz (nee Shallum), who succeeded him, only lasted three months before the inevitable Egyptian punitive invasion consequent on Josiah’s precipitate action resulted in his being taken into exile in Egypt, to be replaced by his brother Eliakim, who was... read more
