2 Kings 23:18 - Exposition

And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. Josiah remembered the circumstances when they were recalled to him, and, in order to show honor to the "man of God" ( 1 Kings 13:1-34 ; passim ), commanded that his tomb should be undisturbed. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria ; i.e. with the bones of the Israelite prophet, who had taken care to be buried with him. The reference is to 1 Kings 13:31 .
