Summary

In this verse, we see King Josiah's tragic end in battle against Pharaoh Necho of Egypt. Despite Josiah's righteousness and reforms earlier in his reign, he ignored the warning from God delivered by Necho, resulting in his death. This event serves as a reminder of the consequences of disregarding God's word and the importance of seeking and heeding divine guidance. It also highlights the sovereignty of God in fulfilling His purposes, even through unexpected means like a foreign king.

Commentary

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

In the eighteenth year of the reign Josiah was this passover kept--"It is said (Kg2 22:3) that Josiah sent Shaphan to Hilkiah in the eighth month of that year." If this statement rests upon an historical basis, all the events narrated here (at 2Ch. 34:8-35:19) must have happened in about the space of five months and a half. We should then have a proof that the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign was reckoned from the autumn (compare Ch2 29:3). "The eighth month" of the sacred year in the eighteenth year of his reign would be the second month of his eighteenth year, and the first month of the new year would be the seventh month [BERTHEAU].
