2 Könige 22:13

Lutherbibel

Gehet hin und fraget den HERRN für mich, für dies Volk und für ganz Juda um die Worte dieses Buches, das gefunden ist; denn es ist ein großer Grimm des HERRN, der über uns entbrannt ist, darum daß unsre Väter nicht gehorcht haben den Worten dieses Buches, daß sie täten alles, was darin geschrieben ist.

Gehet hin und befraget den Herrn für mich und das Volk und für ganz Juda wegen der Worte dieses Buches, das gefunden worden ist; denn groß ist der Zorn des Herrn , der wider uns entbrannt ist, weil unsre Väter nicht auf die Worte dieses Buches gehört haben, daß sie getan hätten alles, was uns darin vorgeschrieben ist!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Go ye, inquire of the Lord,.... Of some of his prophets, as Jeremiah, who began to prophesy in the thirteenth year of Josiah's reign, and had been a prophet five years, Jeremiah 1:1,

for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for he observed that this book threatened and foretold not only the captivity of the ten tribes, but of Judah, and of their king; and Jarchi thinks, he had a particular respect to that passage,

the Lord shall bring thee and thy king, c. Deuteronomy 28:36 and therefore was desirous of knowing what he and his people must do to avert those judgments:

for great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us which he concluded from the threatenings denounced:

because that our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according to all which is written concerning us: he clearly saw that his ancestors more remote and immediate had been very deficient in observing the laws, commands, and ordinances enjoined them in that book; and therefore feared that what was threatened would fall upon him and his people, who, he was sensible, came short of doing their duty.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Enquire of the Lord - As inquiry by Urim and Thummim had ceased - apparently because superseded by prophecy - this order was equivalent to an injunction to seek the presence of a prophet (compare 2 Kings 3:11; 1 Kings 22:5).

Because our fathers have not hearkened - Josiah, it will be observed, assumes that preceding generations had had full opportunity of hearing and knowing the Law. He thus regards the loss as comparatively recent (compare 2 Kings 22:8 note).
