Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 34:8-13

Here, 1. Orders are given by the king for the repair of the temple, 2 Chron. 34:8. When he had purged the house of the corruptions of it he began to fit it up for the services that were to be performed in it. Thus we must do by the spiritual temple of the heart, get it cleansed from the pollutions of sin, and then renewed, so as to be transformed into the image of God. Josiah, in this order, calls God the Lord his God. Those that truly love God will love the habitation of his house. 2. Care is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 34:11

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

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 34:1-33

The reign of Josiah-its unexpected boon, in a republication of revealed religion, with the legitimate and happy results following thereupon. In the reign and person of Josiah, once more and for the last time in the now numbered years of the kingdom of Judah, the light of piety and "goodness" flickered up in the socket. His reign began when his yearn numbered but eight; it lasted thirty-one years. Four reigns succeeded his to the date of the destruction of Jerusalem, but the four together... read more

The repairing of the temple by Josiah. I. THE COMMISSIONERS . 1 . Their names. Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the king's secretary ( 2 Chronicles 34:15 ); Maaseiah the governor of the city; and Josh the son of Joahaz, the recorder or chronicler. 2 . Their business. To repair the house of the Lord. This had been done two centuries before by Joash ( 2 Chronicles 24:12 ), and nearly one century before by Hezekiah ( 2 Chronicles 29:12-19 ).

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 34:11

The exact work done we are unable to follow with precision. The parallel describes it, in more general terms, as "repairing the breaches." The repairs here spoken of, however, betoken, to say the least the rough usage, as well as "negligence," of kings like Manasseh and Amen, and suggest a further question as to the nature of those heathen and idolatrous practices, which cost so much to the very structure of temple and houses, i.e. probably the contiguous chambers of the main building ( 1... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 34:11

The “houses” intended are either the “chambers” which surrounded the temple on three sides 1 Kings 6:5, or out-buildings attached to the courts. The “kings of Judah” intended are, no doubt, Manasseh and Amon. read more

The final reform (34:1-35:27)Another reform swept Judah during the reign of Josiah (34:1-33; see notes on 2 Kings 22:1-23:20). As with the reform of Hezekiah, the climax in the eyes of the Chronicler was a great Passover Feast in Jerusalem.After returning the ark to its rightful place in the temple, the priests and Levites prepared themselves for their duties. Josiah arranged them in divisions as Hezekiah had done earlier, so that the music, singing, sacrifices and other rituals could be... 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
