SEV Biblia, Chapter 34:33
Y quitó Josías todas las abominaciones de todas las tierras de los hijos de Israel; e hizo a todos los que se hallaron en Israel que sirviesen al SEÑOR su Dios. No se apartaron de en pos del SEÑOR Dios de sus padres, todo el tiempo que él vivió.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 33. And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that [pertained] to the children of Israel , etc.] All their idols, as related in ( 2 Kings 23:4), etc. and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the Lord their God ; by his edicts, and by his example: and all his days they departed not from following the Lord God of their fathers ; not publicly and universally; otherwise there were great declensions and corruptions among them, as the prophecies of Jeremiah and Zephaniah show.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Josiah's good reign in Judah. --As the years of infancy cannot be useful to our fellow-creatures, ou earliest youth should be dedicated to God, that we may not waste any of the remaining short space of life. Happy and wise are those who see the Lord and prepare for usefulness at an early age, when others ar pursuing sinful pleasures, contracting bad habits, and forming ruinou connexions. Who can express the anguish prevented by early piety, an its blessed effects? Diligent self-examination and watchfulness wil convince us of the deceitfulness and wickedness of our own hearts, an the sinfulness of our lives. We are here encouraged to humble ourselve before God, and to seek unto him, as Josiah did. And believers are her taught, not to fear death, but to welcome it, when it takes them awa from the evil to come. Nothing hastens the ruin of a people, nor ripen them for it, more than their disregard of the attempts made for their reformation. Be not deceived, God is not mocked. The current and tid of affections only turns at the command of Him who raises up those tha are dead in trespasses and sins. We behold peculiar loveliness, in the grace the Lord bestows on those, who in tender years seek to know an to love the Saviour. Hath Jesus, the Day-spring from on high, visite you? Can you trace your knowledge of this light and life of man, lik Josiah, from your youth? Oh the unspeakable happiness of becomin acquainted with Jesus from our earliest years __________________________________________________________________
