How preachers through history handled this text

4 public-domain excerpts on 2 Chronicles 35, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Matthew Henry 3 John Wesley 1

“The destruction Josiah made of idolatry, was more largely related in the book of Kings. His solemnizing the passover is related here. The Lord's supper resembles the passover more than any other of the Jewish festivals; and the due observance of that ordinance, is a proof of growing piety and devotion. God alone can truly make our hearts holy, and prepare them for his holy services; but there are duties belonging to us, in doing which we obtain this blessing from the Lord.”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on 2 Chronicles 35:1–19 (Public Domain)
