Study
20 From the Book of 2 Chronicles is: 2
Chronicles 34 and 35
1- At what age
did Josiah begin to seek the Lord? What effects did this have on his subsequent
life both publicly and privately?
2- What was the
effect of the finding of the book of the law (a) upon Josiah, and (b) through
him upon the nation? Cf. Ps. 119:59, 60. Is the Word of God having the same
effect upon you, and through your life?
3- What does
34:23-28 teach concerning (a) the inevitable consequences of sin (cf. Dt.
11:26-28), and (b) God’s attitude to the sincere penitent?
Notes
1- 34:14. ‘The
book of the law’ was quite likely the Deuteronomy (cf. Dt. 31:26).
2- 35:3. It is
usually assumed that the ark had been taken out of the holy of holies during
the repairs, and that the Levites were now bidden to restore it, with the
assurance that they would not again be asked to undertake this work. Cf. I Ch
23:26.
3- 34:28 and
35:24. Josiah was spared from witnessing god’s anger poured out upon Judah
(34:25) by his death, and thus may be said to have died ‘in peace’.
