If you are already rebelling against the LORD while I am still alive, how much more will you rebel after my death! / Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officers so that I may speak these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to witness against them. ... 2 Kings 22:18-20 But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘As for the words that you heard, / because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its people, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and because you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I have heard you,’ declares the LORD. / ‘Therefore I will indeed gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace.

The Hebrew root for "inquire" (דָּרַשׁ, darash) implies a diligent search or investigation, suggesting that King Josiah is earnestly seeking God's will. This act of inquiry underscores the importance of seeking divine wisdom and guidance, a principle that remains central in conservative Christian thought, emphasizing prayer and scripture as means to understand God's will. for me and for those who remain in Israel and Judah concerning the words of the book that has been found For great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD by doing all that is written in this book For them that are left . . . Judah.--An alteration of, "and for the people and for all Judah" (Kings). The chronicler thinks of the remnant in the northern kingdom. Poured out.--Kings, "kindled against." (So LXX.) This was probably the original reading, as the wrath which Josiah dreaded had not yet been poured out upon Judah. But the chronicler remembered the ruin of the ten tribes. Kept.--Kings, "hearkened to" sham?'-, as here, instead of sh?m?r-; and so LXX. and Syriac. Verse 21. - For me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah. The parallel shows, "For me, and for the people, and for all Judah" (2 Kings 22:13), without any apparent specific reference to Israel. Our present passage may intend to glance at the fact that the bettor part of Israel were in captivity; and it will be possible, at any rate, to read the last clause as intending, not "for them that are left in Judah," but "and for them in Judah." That is poured out; Hebrew, גִחְכָה. The parallel shows, "that is kindled;" Hebrew, נִצְחָה. The considerable resemblance between the Hebrew words is worthy of passing note.Parallel Commentaries ...
