2 Reis 23:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 23:22

Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of
the judges that judged Israel
As the king commanded; the people obeyed and kept the passover, according to the law of the Lord; the manner of its being kept is not here recorded, but is at large in ( 2 Chronicles 35:1-19 ) where it is observed there had not been such an one from the days of Samuel, the last of the judges; so that the days of the judges here mean the last days of them:

nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
since the division of the kingdoms; for as for the kings of Israel, they kept it not; and though it was observed in the times of Hezekiah king of Judah, yet not universally, and by some in their uncleanness; for it is a mistake of Clemens of Alexandria ^F23, that it was not kept in the times between Samuel and Josiah; in the days of David and Solomon it might be kept by greater numbers, but not with such purity, and with such cheerfulness and joy of heart, or with so many other sacrifices attending it, or so exactly agreeable to the law of God, and with such munificence and liberality; the king, and the chief of the priests and Levites, providing out of their own substance for the people and their brethren.

2 Reis 23:22 In-Context

20 E a todos os sacerdotes dos altos que encontrou ali, ele os matou sobre os respectivos altares, onde também queimou ossos de homens; depois voltou a Jerusalém.

21 Então o rei deu ordem a todo o povo dizendo: Celebrai a páscoa ao Senhor vosso Deus, como está escrito neste livro do pacto

22 Pois não se celebrara tal páscoa desde os dias dos juízes que julgaram a Israel, nem em todos os dias dos reis de Israel, nem tampouco nos dias dos reis de Judá.

23 Foi no décimo oitavo ano do rei Josias que esta páscoa foi celebrada ao Senhor em Jerusalém.

24 Além disso, os adivinhos, os feiticeiros, os terafins, os ídolos e todas abominações que se viam na terra de Judá e em Jerusalém, Josias os extirpou, para confirmar as palavras da lei, que estavam escritas no livro que o sacerdote Hilquias achara na casa do Senhor.
