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 because they have forsaken Me This phrase highlights the recurring theme of Israel's unfaithfulness to God. Throughout the Old Testament, forsaking God often led to dire consequences for the Israelites. This abandonment of God is a violation of the covenant established at Sinai, where the Israelites pledged exclusive worship to Yahweh. The forsaking of God is a central issue in the prophetic literature, where prophets like Jeremiah and Hosea lament Israel's spiritual adultery. and burned incense to other gods that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands My wrath will be poured out upon this place and will not be quenched.’ Persons / Places / Events 1. JosiahThe king of Judah during this time, known for his reforms and efforts to bring the nation back to the worship of Yahweh. 2. Judah The southern kingdom of Israel, which had fallen into idolatry and was subject to God's impending judgment. 3. Huldah the Prophetess The prophetess who delivered God's message of judgment and mercy to King Josiah. 4. Jerusalem The capital city of Judah, where the temple was located and where idolatrous practices had been taking place. 5. Idolatry The worship of other gods, which was prevalent in Judah and provoked God's anger. Teaching Points The Consequences of IdolatryIdolatry leads to God's wrath. We must examine our lives for anything that takes precedence over God and remove it. The Importance of Repentance Josiah's response to God's message was one of repentance and reform. We should be quick to repent and turn back to God when we recognize sin in our lives. God's Justice and Mercy While God's wrath is real, His mercy is also evident. He provides opportunities for repentance and restoration. The Role of Scripture in Reform Josiah's reforms were sparked by the rediscovery of the Book of the Law. Regular engagement with Scripture is crucial for spiritual renewal. The Influence of Leadership Josiah's leadership brought about significant change. Our influence, whether in family, church, or community, can lead others toward or away from God.(25) Works.--"Work" (Kings), and some MSS. and the Syriac version here. Poured out.--"Shall be kindled" (Kings), which agrees better with "shall not be quenched." (See 2Chronicles 34:21 for the same alteration. The LXX. here has (????????) "was kindled." Burned incense.--Hiphil, which is much commoner in the chronicle than piel, the form in Kings (the forms piel and hiphil of this word qatar are about equally used in Kings.) Verse 25. - Poured out. So here again, as above (ver. 21). Yet our Septuagint has "kindled;" and also the parallel in the Hebrew. The word "quenched," which immediately follows, suits the word "kindled," and what with the testimony of the Septuagint, both here and in ver. 21, and the Hebrew in both passages of the parallel, suggests that "poured" is the substitution, by some mishap, of a copyist - a mishap, for instance, that might result from the copyist writing from the speech of some one, and not from his own inspection. Exactly similar mistakes may often be seen in our maps, where the spelling and misspelling of the name of some place seem only to be accounted for by the same supposition. The catastrophe now foretold befell the nation manifestly in the reigns of the succeeding sovereigns, whose days were emphatically both few and evil, viz. the two sons of Josiah, Jehoahaz and Eliakim, whose name was changed to Jehoiakim; and the two sons of this latter, Jehoiachin and Zedekiah (according to 2 Kings 24:17, the same with Mattaniah, and son of Josiah).Parallel Commentaries ...
