2 Chronicles 34
1. Josiah's good reign
3. He destroys idolatry
8. He takes order for the repair of the temple
14. Hilkiah, having found a book of the law,
21. Josiah sends to Huldah to enquire of the Lord
23. Huldah prophesies the destruction of Jerusalem, but respite thereof in Josiah's time
29. Josiah, causing it to be read in a solemn assembly, renews the covenant with God














(26) To enquire of the Lord.--Strictly, through the Lord. Kings has the accusative.

Against this place.--Kings adds, "that it should become an astonishment and a curse."

And humbledst thyself before me.--Not in Kings. A characteristic repetition.

And weep.--Shorter form of the verb; a correction of Kings (watt?bk for wattebkeh).

I.--Emphatic. (Kings has the longer form 'anoki for our 'ani.)

Saith the Lord.--Is the utterance of Jehovah (ne'-m Iahweh).

Grave.--Heb., graves. (Comp. 2Chronicles 16:14.)

And upon the inhabitants of the same.--Added by the chronicler.
