    2 Kings 22

    This chapter begins the story of the reign of good king Josiah, whose goodness shines the brighter because it came just after so much wickedness, which he had the honour to reform, and just before so great a destruction, which yet he had not the honour to prevent. Here, after his general character (2 Kings 22:1, 22:2), we have a particular account of the respect he paid I. To God’s house, which he repaired, 2 Kings 22:3-22:7 II. To God’s book, which he was much affected with the reading of, 2 Kings 22:8-22:11 III. To God’s messengers, whom he thereupon consulted, 2 Kings 22:12-22:14 And by whom he received from God an answer threatening Jerusalem’s destruction (2 Kings 22:15-22:17), but promising favour to him (2 Kings 22:18-22:20), upon which he set about that glorious work of reformation which we have an account of in the next chapter.MHBCC 336.1
