How preachers through history handled this text
6 public-domain excerpts on 2 Kings 22, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The book of the law is read before the king. Those best honour their Bibles, who study them; daily feed on that bread, and walk by that light. Convictions of sin and wrath should put us upon this inquiry, What shall we do to be saved? Also, what we may expect, and must provide for. Those who are truly apprehensive of the weight of God's wrath, cannot but be very anxious how they may be saved. Huldah let Josiah know what judgments God had in store for Judah and Jerusalem. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on 2 Kings 22:11–30 (Public Domain)
