Commentary

Matthew Henry on 2 Chronicles 35:1-19

The destruction which Josiah made of idols and idolatry was more largely related in the Kings, but just mentioned here in the foregoing chapter (v. 33); but his solemnizing the passover, which was touched upon there (Kg2 23:21), is very particularly related here. Many were the feasts of the Lord, appointed by the ceremonial law, but the passover was the chief. It began them all in the night wherein Israel came out of Egypt; it concluded them all in the night wherein Christ was betrayed; and in the celebration of it Hezekiah and Josiah, those two great reformers, revived religion in their day. The ordinance of the Lord's supper resembles the passover more than it does any of the Jewish festiv…

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 35:8

his princes--These gave to the priests and Levites; as those of Hezekiah's princes (Ch2 30:24). They were ecclesiastical princes; namely, Hilkiah the high priest (Ch2 34:9). Zechariah, probably the second priest of the Eleazar (Kg2 16:18), and Jehiel, of the Ithamar line. And as the Levitical tribes were not yet sufficiently provided (Ch2 35:9), some of their eminent brethren who had been distinguished in Hezekiah's time (Ch2 31:12-15), gave a large additional contribution for the use of the Levites exclusively.

Adam Clarke on 2 Chronicles 35:3

Put the holy ark in the house - It is likely that the priests had secured this when they found that the idolatrous kings were determined to destroy every thing that might lead the people to the worship of the true God. And now, as all appears to be well established, the ark is ordered to be put into its own place. For an ample account of this passover and the reformation that was then made, see on Kg2 23:1 (note), etc., and the places marked in the margin.

John Gill on 2 Chronicles 35:9

Cononiah also, and Shemaiah and Nathaneel his brethren,.... See 2 Chronicles 31:12. and Hashabiah, and Jehiel, and Jozabad, chief of the Levites; men of considerable substance, and in good posts and offices: gave unto the Levites; their poor brethren of that order: for passover offerings five thousand small cattle; lambs, or kids, or both: and five hundred oxen; for the feast that followed the passover.
