The freedom of expression here warns us against pressing the words of 2Kings 22:8; 2Kings 22:10 ("he read it"). Verse 16. - Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place - i.e. Jerusalem - and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the King of Judah hath read. In the parallel passage of Chronicles (2 Chronicles 34:24) the expression used is stronger, viz, "Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have road before the King of Judah." The passage which most strongly affected Josiah was probably that, already mentioned, in Deuteronomy 28, which began with a series of curses. 22:11-20 The book of the law is read before the king. Those best honour their Bibles, who study them; daily feed on that bread, and walk by that light. Convictions of sin and wrath should put us upon this inquiry, What shall we do to be saved? Also, what we may expect, and must provide for. Those who are truly apprehensive of the weight of God's wrath, cannot but be very anxious how they may be saved. Huldah let Josiah know what judgments God had in store for Judah and Jerusalem. The generality of the people were hardened, and their hearts unhumbled, but Josiah's heart was tender. This is tenderness of heart, and thus he humbled himself before the Lord. Those who most fear God's wrath, are least likely to feel it. Though Josiah was mortally wounded in battle, yet he died in peace with God, and went to glory. Whatever such persons suffer or witness, they are gathered to the grave in peace, and shall enter into the rest which remaineth for the people of God.Jump to Previous Book Disaster Evil Inhabitants Judah Read Thereof WordsJump to Next Book Disaster Evil Inhabitants Judah Read Thereof WordsLinks 2 Kings 22:16 NIV2 Kings 22:16 NLT 2 Kings 22:16 ESV 2 Kings 22:16 NASB 2 Kings 22:16 KJV 2 Kings 22:16 Bible Apps 2 Kings 22:16 Biblia Paralela 2 Kings 22:16 Chinese Bible 2 Kings 22:16 French Bible 2 Kings 22:16 German Bible Alphabetical: according all am and Behold book bring disaster even everything evil going has I in inhabitants is its Judah king LORD of on people place read says the This thus to what which words written OT History: 2 Kings 22:16 Thus says Yahweh Behold I will bring (2Ki iiKi ii ki 2 kg 2kg) Christian Bible Study Resources, Dictionary, Concordance and Search Tools |
