2 Kings 23

Commentary

2 Kings 23 is a chapter that focuses on the reforms of King Josiah of Judah. Josiah was a righteous king who sought to restore the worship of the Lord in Judah. He removed all the idols and altars to false gods that had been set up in the temple and throughout the land. He also destroyed the high places where the people had been sacrificing to false gods. He even went so far as to burn the bones of the false priests on their own altars. Josiah also commanded that the Passover be celebrated in Jerusalem, something that had not been done since the days of the Judges. Josiah's reforms were a sign of his commitment to the Lord and his desire to restore the worship of the Lord in Judah. His reforms were a sign of his faithfulness to the Lord and his desire to lead the people of Judah back to the Lord. This chapter is a reminder of the importance of faithfulness to the Lord and the need to remain committed to Him. It is also a reminder of the power of God to bring about change and transformation in the lives of those who are faithful to Him.
