V.1-19 Before you read these verses, we would like to point out that what is prominent in the story of Josiah is that so many things were restored to the Word of God as given to king David. This is so important for us too. Is the Word of God of first importance in your life? If it is, then you are a happy person.
V.3 Even the ark seems to have been taken out of the temple.
V.20-27 Josiah does not ask the Lord about this act of his; he loses his life through it. The king of Egypt was not attacking him. Many believers today get involved in worldly things which are not their place, and lose out too.
