(12) And the king commanded . . .—Comp. the similar embassy to Isaiah (2 Kings 19:2).As to Ahikam see Jeremiah 26:24; Jeremiah 40:5; and for Achbor, Jeremiah 26:22; Jeremiah 36:12.Asahiah a servant of the king’s.—Probably the same officer as “the knight” or aide-de-camp who attended on the king (2 Kings 7:2; 2 Kings 9:25.) read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Kings 22:13

(13) Enquire of the Lord.—Or, seek ye Jehovah. Josiah wished to know whether any hope remained for himself and his people, or whether the vengeance must fall speedily.For the people.—Of Jerusalem.Written concerning us.—Thenius conjectures written therein, a slight change in the Hebrew. But Josiah identifies the people and their fathers as one nation. (Comp. also Exodus 20:5.) However Chronicles has “in this book,” and the Arabic here “in it.” read more

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

22:13 Go ye, {f} enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great [is] the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.(f) Meaning, to some prophet to whom God reveals the knowledge of things, as in Jeremiah 21:8 , though at other times they enquired the Lord by Urim and Thummim. 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

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 22:1-20

JUDAH UNDER JOSIAH HIS IMMEDIATE PREDECESSORS (2 Kings 21:1-26 ) Manasseh’s history shows that a good father does not always make a good son. The summary of his reign (2 Kings 21:1-9 ) ranks him with Ahaz, as the two wickedest kings Judah had known. Note that the same punishment which had fallen on Israel is soon to overtake Judah (2 Kings 21:13 ), and this despite Manasseh’s “humbleness,” as indicated in 2 Chronicles 33:11-19 . The brief reign of Amon (2 Kings 21:19-26 ) was in character... read more

2 Kings 22:0 1. Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah [beloved], the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath [a city of Judah not far from Lachish]. 2. And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left [undeviating obedience: the phrase is rare in the later Scriptures]. 3. ¶ And it came to pass in the... read more
