2 Reyes 23:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 23:16

And as Josiah turned himself
From the high place, and the altar at Bethel; for he not only gave orders for the destroying of idolatrous places and idols, but he saw them executed himself:

he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount;
the graves of idolatrous priests and worshippers, who chose to be buried near those places of idolatry; nor was it unusual for persons to be buried on hills and mountains, see ( Joshua 24:30 Joshua 24:33 ) and this was a custom in other nations formerly F20, particularly among the Indians F21 now, who in many things agree with the Jews:

and sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon
the altar;
where they had sacrificed to idols:

and polluted it;
with their bones, which, according to the law, were defiling, and which was done in contempt of their idolatrous worship there:

according to the word of the Lord which the man of God proclaimed, who
proclaimed these words;
or things; foretold that such a king by name would arise, and burn men's bones upon the altar, and which had been foretold more than three hundred and fifty years before this time.

14 Y quebr贸 las estatuas, y tal贸 los bosques, y llen贸 el lugar de ellos de huesos de hombres
15 Asimismo el altar que estaba en Bet-el, y el alto que hab铆a hecho Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, el que hizo pecar a Israel, aquel altar y el alto destruy贸; y quem贸 el alto, y torn贸 el altar en polvo, y puso fuego al bosque.
16 Y se volvi贸 Jos铆as, y vio los sepulcros que estaban all铆 en el monte, y envi贸 y quit贸 los huesos de los sepulcros, y los quem贸 sobre el altar para contaminarlo, conforme a la palabra del SE脩OR la cual hab铆a profetizado el var贸n de Dios, que hab铆a profetizado estos negocios.
17 Y despu茅s dijo: 驴Qu茅 t铆tulo es este que veo? Y los de la ciudad le respondieron: Este es el sepulcro del var贸n de Dios que vino de Jud谩, y profetiz贸 estas cosas que t煤 has hecho sobre el altar de Bet-el.
18 Y 茅l dijo: Dejadlo; ninguno mueva sus huesos; y as铆 fueron salvados sus huesos, y los huesos del profeta que hab铆a venido de Samaria.
