Context — Josiah Restores the Passover
17The Israelites who were present also observed the Passover at that time, as well as the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
18No such Passover had been observed in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel ever observed a Passover like the one that Josiah observed with the priests, the Levites, all Judah, the Israelites who were present, and the people of Jerusalem.
19In the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was observed.
20After all this, when Josiah had set the temple in order, Neco king of Egypt marched up to fight at Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah went out to confront him. 21But Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “What is the issue between you and me, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today, but I am fighting another dynasty, and God has told me to hurry. So stop opposing God, who is with me, or He will destroy you!”2 Chronicles 35:19 Summary
The verse 2 Chronicles 35:19 tells us that in the eighteenth year of King Josiah's reign, the people of Judah observed the Passover, a special feast to remember how God delivered them from slavery in Egypt (as seen in Exodus 12:1-28). This was a big deal because it showed that Josiah was serious about following God's laws and instructions. By celebrating the Passover, Josiah and the people of Judah were reminded of God's love and faithfulness, and they were able to renew their commitment to Him (similar to the way the Israelites renewed their covenant in Deuteronomy 29:1-30:20). This verse teaches us about the importance of obeying God and remembering His deliverance, just like Josiah did.
