2 Chron. 35:1–19 Compare 2 Kings 23:21–23.
2 Chron. 35:1 the first month. The regular month for celebration (Num. 28:16), in contrast to Hezekiah’s delayed observance (2 Chron. 30:2).
2 Chron. 35:3–6 Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon . . . built (v. 3). The ark may have been removed during the reigns of Manasseh and Amon, or in the course of Josiah’s renovation. Josiah directs the Levites in their new duties regarding the Passover lambs (see v. 11).
2 Chron. 35:7–9 Josiah and his officials imitate David (1 Chron. 29:2–5) and Solomon (2 Chron. 7:5) in their generosity.
2 Chron. 35:18 No Passover like it. Josiah’s Passover exceeded all other such celebrations (compare 30:2–4, 18–20) in its commitment to faithful worship and in its inclusion of all Judah and Israel (see note on 2 Kings 23:22).
2 Chron. 35:20–27 Josiah died while confronting Pharaoh Neco II at Megiddo in 609 b.c. The Egyptian king was bringing his army north to help the Assyrians fight against Babylon. Apparently Josiah decided to seek favor with Babylon by opposing the Egyptians (see note on 2 Kings 23:28–30). This suggests that he was no longer trusting in the Lord. Josiah had sought to follow God’s words from the rediscovered Book of the Law and from Huldah the prophetess (2 Chron. 34:19, 26–27), but now he failed to listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God (35:22). (God was speaking even through this Egyptian king, warning Josiah against meddling in a war between Babylon and Egypt.) Nevertheless, Josiah’s reign is judged very positively. the Laments (v. 25). Not the biblical book of Lamentations.
