2 Chronicles 34, 2 Kings 23, Proverbs 4:20-27

In our last episode we were introduced to King Josiah who began his reign over Judah at the mere age of nine. As we pick up 2 Chronicles, we’ll hear a parallel account to our reading from 2 Kings 22, but then we’ll continue onward and cover more ground. After sending his men to consult a prophetess named Huldah, Josiah learns that the wrath of God is coming upon Judah soon. When Josiah realizes that their days are numbered, he cleans house both figuratively and literally. The Lord’s temple was full of idolatrous objects and practices, and he gets rid of them all. The Lord honors Josiah’s zeal and humility by promising that his wrath will not come upon Judah during the king’s lifetime, but God will certainly send Judah into exile in the near future.2 Chronicles 34 - 1:05 . 2 Kings 23 - 9:59 . Proverbs 4:20 - 20:37 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
