2 Chronicles 35

Introduction

THE SOLEMN PASSOVER, 2 Chronicles 34:1-19.

In accordance with his manner of dwelling more fully on what is religious and ritualistic, the chronicler gives the greater part of this chapter to a description of Josiah’s passover, while the writer of Kings despatches it in three verses. 2 Kings 23:21-23. It was a most solemn and imposing service, and in the strict adherence to the law in which it was observed, the peculiar interest attending it, and perhaps also in the numbers that were present, it was distinguished above all other passovers held since the days of the Judges. It made Josiah’s eighteenth year a most memorable epoch, 2 Chronicles 35:19.
