Contextual Overview

1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he ruled thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah, who was from Bozkath. 2 Josiah did what the Lord said was right. He lived as his ancestor David had lived, and he did not stop doing what was right. 3 In Josiah's eighteenth year as king, he sent Shaphan to the Temple of the Lord . Shaphan son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, was the royal secretary. Josiah said, 4 "Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, and have him empty out the money the gatekeepers have gathered from the people. This is the money they have brought into the Temple of the Lord . 5 Have him give the money to the supervisors of the work on the Temple of the Lord . They must pay the workers who repair the Temple of the Lord — 6 the carpenters, builders, and bricklayers. Also use the money to buy timber and cut stone to repair the Temple. 7 They do not need to report how they use the money given to them, because they are working honestly." 8 Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the royal secretary, "I've found the Book of the Teachings in the Temple of the Lord ." He gave it to Shaphan, who read it. 9 Then Shaphan the royal secretary went to the king and reported to Josiah, "Your officers have paid out the money that was in the Temple of the Lord . They have given it to the workers and supervisors at the Temple." 10 Then Shaphan the royal secretary told the king, "Hilkiah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read from the book to the king.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign,.... And must be born when his father was but sixteen, for Amon lived but twenty four years, 2 Kings 21:19,

and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem; and so must die at thirty nine years of age:

and his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath; a city of the tribe of Judah, 2 Kings 21:19- :.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

It is read by Shaphan the scribe, before the king and his

servants, 9, 10.

prophetess, 11-13.

She delivers an afflictive prophecy concerning the evils that

were coming upon the land, 14-17.

But promises Josiah that these evils shall not come in his

time, 18-20.
