This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ki_22:3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, [that] the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,
Ver. 3. In the eighteenth year of king Josiah.] That is, In the eighteenth year of his reign; after that, with a great deal of zeal, he had purged the land and the house. {2Ch_34:8} In which time also it seemeth that a collection was made for the repairing of the temple, which now this pious king taketh order to have done, and herein he proceedeth aequabiliter, iuste, prudenter. {a} And from this famous eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, both those thirty years, {Eze_1:1} and those forty days or years of the sin of Judah, {Eze_6:6} seem to take their rise and reckoning.
