TSK - 2 CHRONICLES 34

  1  Josiah's good reign.
 3  He destroys idolatry.
 8  He takes order for the repair of the temple.
14  Hilkiah, having found a book of the law, Josiah sends to
    Huldah to enquire of the Lord.
23  Huldah prophesies the destruction of Jerusalem, but respite
    thereof in Josiah's time.
29  Josiah, causing it to be read in a solemn assembly, renews
    the covenant with God.

  Instead of {wyyashuvoo}, "and they returned," as the Keri has,

  printed editions, and all the versions, as well as necessity
  and common sense.

VERSE 14 
 - Hilkiah.  See on
   * 2Ki 22:8-20 De 31:24-26
- a book.
  Literally, "a book of the law of the Lord, by the hand of
  Moses," i.e, as Dr. Kennicott understands it, "in the
  handwriting of Moses;" for, says he, though there are fifteen
  places in the Old Testament which mention the "Law of Moses,"
  and "book of Moses," yet this one place only mentions "the
  book of the law in, or by, the hand of Moses."

- the law.
   * 2Ch 12:1; 31:4; 35:26 De 17:18,19 Jos 1:8 Ezr 7:10 Ps 1:2 Isa 5:24

VERSE 20 
 - Ahikam.
   * 2Ki 25:22 Jer 26:24; 40:6,9,14
- Abdon.
  This person seems to have borne both the name of Achbor and
  Abdon.

   * 2Ki 22:12
- Achbor.
   * Jer 26:22
- Michah.
  Michaiah, [MŒykayeh-w <\\S#4321h\\>,] as he is named in the
  parallel passage, is here called [MŒykƒh <\\S#4318h\\>,]
  Michah, merely by the omission of [Yƒhh <\\S#3050h\\>,] {yah,}
  one of the Divine names.

- Asaiah.
  This variation only exists in the translation; the original
  being uniformly Asaiah, or rather, Asayah.

   * 2Ki 22:12
- Asahiah.


VERSE 21 
 - enquire.
   * Ex 18:15 1Sa 9:9 1Ki 22:5-7 Jer 21:2 Eze 14:1-11; 20:1-7
- that are left.
   * 2Ch 28:6; 33:11 2Ki 17:6,7; 22:13 Isa 37:2-4 Jer 42:2
- great.
   * Le 26:14-46 De 28:15; 29:18-28; 30:17-19; 31:16-22; 32:15-25
   * Ro 1:18; 2:8-12; 4:15


VERSE 22 
 - the prophetess.
   * Ex 15:20 Jud 4:4 Lu 1:41-45; 2:36 Ac 21:9
- Hasrah.
  Hasrah is most probably a mistake for Harhas; as the
  Septuagint reads, both here and in the parallel place, [    .]

- Aras.  See on
   * 2Ki 22:14
- Harhas.
- wardrobe.  Heb. garments.  college.  or, school, or second
  part.
  It is probable that {Mishneh} was either the name of a street,
  or a particular part of the city of Jerusalem.

   * :21,23


VERSE 27 
 - Because.
  "Because," says the Targumist, "thy heart was melted, and thou
  hast humbled thyself in the sight of the word of the Lord,
  {meymra dyya,} when thou didst hear His words, {yath
  pithgamoi,} against this place."  Here {meymra,} the personal
  word, is plainly distinguished from {pithgam,} a word spoken.

- thine heart.  See on ch.
   * 2Ch 32:12,13 2Ki 22:18,19 Ps 34:18; 51:17 Isa 57:15; 66:2 Eze 9:4

- the book.
   * :15,18,19,24 Ex 24:7 2Ki 23:2,21 Jer 31:31,32


VERSE 31 
 - In his place.
  Instead of {ƒl "mdo,} "in his place," the parallel passage
  2 Ki 3 23:3, has {ƒl h„ƒmmood,} "by the pillar;" which is
  probably the true reading, as the LXX. in both places read
  [              ,] "the  pillar."

   * 2Ch 6:13 2Ki 11:4; 23:3 Eze 46:2
- made a covenant.
  This was expressed, 1.  In general, To walk after Jehovah; to
  have no gods beside him.  2.  To take this law for the
  regulation of their conduct.  3.  In particular, To bend their
  whole heart and soul to the performance of it; so that they
  might not only have religion without, but piety within.
