2 Chronicles 34:32
Compare all
30 The king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—the priests and the Levites, and all the people, great and small. And he aread in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant which had been found in the house of the Lord.  
31 Then the king astood in bhis place and made a ccovenant before the Lord, to follow the Lord, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.  
32 And he made all who were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin take a stand. So the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
33 Thus Josiah removed all the aabominations from all the country that belonged to the children of Israel, and made all who were present in Israel1 diligently serve the Lord their God. bAll his days they did not depart from following the Lord God of their fathers.

What Does 2 Chronicles 34:32 Mean?



2 Chronicles 34:32-33

By the sheer force of Josiah's personality and example, the people stay in line, but they do not truly live righteously like Josiah. Josiah clears everything connected with pagan practices from the land and provides the people with godly leadership. However, only twelve short years after his death—after attempts by two sons and a grandson to rule—Judah falls captive to Babylon. Even Josiah's family, both immediate and extended, fail to follow his sterling example.
