As for the rest of the acts of Josiah
This phrase introduces a summary of King Josiah's reign, suggesting that his life and actions were significant enough to be recorded in detail. The Hebrew word for "acts" (מַעֲשִׂים, ma'asim) often refers to deeds or works, emphasizing the importance of Josiah's contributions to the spiritual and political life of Judah. Historically, Josiah is remembered as a reformer king who sought to restore the worship of Yahweh. His acts included the repair of the temple and the reinstitution of the Passover, which were pivotal in the religious revival of the nation.

along with his deeds of loving devotion
The phrase "deeds of loving devotion" is translated from the Hebrew word חֶסֶד (chesed), which conveys a sense of steadfast love, mercy, and faithfulness. This term is often used to describe God's covenantal love for His people. Josiah's actions are characterized by this same covenantal faithfulness, reflecting his commitment to God and his desire to lead the nation in righteousness. His reforms were not merely political but were deeply rooted in a genuine devotion to God, setting an example for future generations.

according to what is written in the Law of the LORD
This phrase underscores Josiah's adherence to the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, which were considered the Law of the LORD. The Hebrew term for "Law" is תּוֹרָה (Torah), meaning instruction or teaching. Josiah's reforms were guided by the rediscovery of the Book of the Law during temple renovations, as recorded earlier in 2 Chronicles 34. This discovery led to a national renewal of the covenant, highlighting the importance of Scripture as the foundation for righteous living. Josiah's commitment to the Law exemplifies the principle that true devotion to God is demonstrated through obedience to His Word.

(26) His goodness.--His pious deeds (2Chronicles 32:32).

According to that . . . the Lord.--Said of no king besides.

The book . . . and Judah.--2Kings 23:28, "the Book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah."

Verse 26. - Goodness; Hebrew text, kindnesses. According to that... written in the Law. This sentence pictures Josiah a careful, loving student of the Word, to the end that he might become a "doer" of it.
