VERSE 8 
 - I have found.
  This certainly was a genuine copy of the divine law, and
  probably the autograph of Moses, as it is said, in the
  parallel place of Chronicles, to be the book of the law of the
  Lord by Moses.  It is not probable that this was the only copy
  of the law in the land, or that Josiah had never before seen
  the book of Moses; but the fact seems to be, that this was the
  original of the covenant renewed by Moses in the plains of
  Moab, and now being unexpectedly found, its antiquity, the
  occasion of its being made, the present circumstances of the
  people, the imperfect state in which the reformation was as
  yet, after all that had been done, would all concur to produce
  the effect here mentioned on the mind of the pious Josiah.

  During thy life, none of these calamities shall fall upon thee
  nor thy people; no adversary shall be permitted to disturb the
  peace of Judea; and thou shalt at last "be gathered into thy
  grave in peace."  Now, though it is stated that Pharaoh-Necho
  slew him at Megiddo, yet the Assyrians and the Jews were at
  peace; and though Josiah might feel it his duty to oppose the
  Egyptian king's going against his friend and ally, and that,
  in his endeavors to oppose him, he was mortally wounded at
  Megiddo, yet certainly he was not killed there, but was
  brought to Jerusalem, where he died in peace.

- gathered.
