JOSIAH'S GOOD REIGN.
1, 2. Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign--Happier than his grandfather Manasseh, he seems to have fallen during his minority under the care of better guardians, who trained him in the principles and practice of piety; and so strongly had his young affections been enlisted on the side of true and undefiled religion, that he continued to adhere all his life, with undeviating perseverance, to the cause of God and righteousness.

約西亞供應聖殿的修繕
3, 4. 約西亞王十八年——在此之前，他已著手推行全國的改革。初步的步驟早已採取；不但工匠已被雇用，百姓也已將銀子帶來交給在門口侍立的利未人，各樣其他的預備也已作成。但這段敘事的脈絡圍繞著約西亞在位第十八年所發生的一樁重要事件，因此特別標明這個年份。事實上，全地已從一切偶像崇拜之物及其痕跡中得著徹底的潔淨。如今王轉而致力於聖殿的修繕與美化，並吩咐大祭司希勒家作一次全面的查視，以確定需要作的事（參見
代下 34:8-15）。

2Ki 22:3-7.
HE PROVIDES FOR THE REPAIR OF THE TEMPLE.
3, 4. in the eighteenth year of king Josiah--Previous to this period, he had commenced the work of national reformation. The preliminary steps had been already taken; not only the builders were employed, but money had been brought by all the people and received by the Levites at the door, and various other preparations had been made. But the course of this narrative turns on one interesting incident which happened in the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign, and hence that date is specified. In fact the whole land was thoroughly purified from every object and all traces of idolatry. The king now addressed himself to the repair and embellishment of the temple and gave directions to Hilkiah the high priest to take a general survey, in order to ascertain what was necessary to be done (see on
2Ch 34:8-15).

希勒家尋得律法書
8-11. 希勒家說……我在耶和華殿裏得了律法書，云云——即摩西的律法，五經。那是聖殿的收藏本，從前被放在
(申 31:25、26)
至聖所約櫃旁。在瑪拿西與亞們不虔的年間——或可能在亞哈斯時，聖殿本身被偶像褻瀆，約櫃也被
(代下 35:3)
移離原位；它不知怎樣遺失了，如今在修繕聖殿時又被尋回 [KEIL]。希勒家這位發現者把它交給書記沙番
[王下 22:8]， 沙番再把它展示並讀給王聽。極有可能的是，讀給王聽、並使王的心大受激動的那段經文，是申命記的一部分，即第二十八、二十九、三十章；那裏記載了國家聖約的更新，以及對一切干犯律法者（無論君王或百姓）所宣告的可怕威脅與咒詛。那段朗讀在約西亞心中所引起的悲傷與恐懼，許多人看來難以理解。但既然先知們所展現的廣博而熟練的知識證明民間確有大量其他抄本流通，王對其神聖內容必有若干程度的認識。然而他所聽讀的那段，可能他先前並不熟悉；或者在特殊的處境下，那段朗讀以他從未經歷過的方式觸及了他的心。他對神話語的堅定信心，以及他痛切意識到本國長久可悲的背道已使百姓招致所宣告的審判——這意念必以無可抵擋的力量臨到這位敬虔君王的心。
英語原文
2Ki 22:8-15.
HILKIAH FINDS THE BOOK OF THE LAW.
8-11. Hilkiah said . . . I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord, &c.--that is, the law of Moses, the Pentateuch. It was the temple copy which, had been laid
(De 31:25, 26)
beside the ark in the most holy place. During the ungodly reigns of Manasseh and Amon--or perhaps under Ahaz, when the temple itself had been profaned by idols, and the ark also
(2Ch 35:3)
removed from its site; it was somehow lost, and was now found again during the repair of the temple [KEIL]. Delivered by Hilkiah the discoverer to Shaphan the scribe
[2Ki 22:8],
it was by the latter shown and read to the king. It is thought, with great probability, that the passage read to the king, and by which the royal mind was so greatly excited, was a portion of Deuteronomy, the twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth, and thirtieth chapters, in which is recorded a renewal of the national covenant, and an enumeration of the terrible threats and curses denounced against all who violated the law, whether prince or people. The impressions of grief and terror which the reading produced on the mind of Josiah have seemed to many unaccountable. But, as it is certain from the extensive and familiar knowledge displayed by the prophets, that there were numbers of other copies in popular circulation, the king must have known its sacred contents in some degree. But he might have been a stranger to the passage read him, or the reading of it might, in the peculiar circumstances, have found a way to his heart in a manner that he never felt before. His strong faith in the divine word, and his painful consciousness that the woeful and long-continued apostasies of the nation had exposed them to the infliction of the judgments denounced, must have come with overwhelming force on the heart of so pious a prince.

12-15. 王吩咐……你們去為我，云云求問耶和華——王激動的心情促使他立即求問，當如何避開那臨到他國度的咒詛；於是隨即差遣一群首要官員組成的代表團，去見一位具有先知之靈的人。

(代下 34:20)，
是朝廷中有影響力的人
(耶 26:22)。
當時情況緊急，因此他們被差去——不是去找西番雅
(番 1:1)，
因他或許年輕——也不是去找耶利米，他大概不在、而在亞拿突自己的家中；而是去找一位就在身邊、以先知恩賜聞名的人——戶勒大，她此時大概已是寡婦。她的丈夫沙龍是哈拉孫「掌管禮服者」的孫子。若這指的是祭司的禮服，哈拉孫便必是利未人。但這很可能指的是王室的禮服庫。
她住在……第二區——更當譯作「在密什拿」，將原文之字作為專有名詞；那不是一所學校或書院，而是耶路撒冷的一個特定郊區。她備受敬重，猶太作者說，她與祭司耶何耶大是大衛家以外

14. Achbor--or Abdon
(2Ch 34:20),
a man of influence at court
(Jer 26:22).
The occasion was urgent, and therefore they were sent--not to Zephaniah
(Zep 1:1),
who was perhaps young--nor to Jeremiah, who was probably absent at his house in Anathoth, but to one who was at hand and known for her prophetic gifts--to Huldah, who was probably at this time a widow. Her husband Shallum was grandson of one Harhas, "keeper of the wardrobe." If this means the priestly wardrobe, [Harhas] must have been a Levite. But it probably refers to the royal wardrobe.
she dwelt . . . in the college--rather, "in the Misnah," taking the original word as a proper name, not a school or college, but a particular suburb of Jerusalem. She was held in such veneration that Jewish writers say she and Jehoiada the priest were the only persons not of the house of David
(2Ch 24:15, 16)
who were ever buried in Jerusalem.

15-20. 她對他們說：耶和華以色列的神如此說：你們去對那差你們來見我的人說——她被請教之後，發出了一段神諭式的回答，其中審判與憐憫交織；因為它宣告了在不久的將來要臨到這城與其中居民的災禍。但同時王也得著安慰，得著保證：這懲罰與哀傷的時節不會在他有生之年臨到，因為他以公職身分、運用王室的影響力，表現了信心、悔改與為神榮耀和敬拜而發的敬虔熱心。
英語原文
15-20. she said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me--On being consulted, she delivered an oracular response in which judgment was blended with mercy; for it announced the impending calamities that at no distant period were to overtake the city and its inhabitants. But at the same time the king was consoled with an assurance that this season of punishment and sorrow should not be during his lifetime, on account of the faith, penitence, and pious zeal for the divine glory and worship which, in his public capacity and with his royal influence, he had displayed.

約西亞 行正 的統治
1、2. 約西亞登基的時候年八歲——他比其祖父瑪拿西幸運,似乎在未成年時便得到較好的監護人的照料,這些人按敬虔的原則和實行來培育他;他年少的心既已堅定地傾向真實而無玷污的宗教,便終生不渝地堅守神與公義的道路。
