II Kings 22:1 (2021) – Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. [Josiah died at age 39 – the same age at which his great grandfather Hezekiah would have died if he had not begged the LORD for healing (II Kings 20:1-6; 18:1-2). The question comes to mind of whether Hezekiah was right in begging the LORD for healing, since the LORD had told him, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live, and since his son Manasseh, who seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel, was born during the extra fifteen years God gave Hezekiah (II Kings 21:1). But we must remember that Josiah, who did much good, descended from Manasseh, and would not have been born if Hezekiah had not had those extra fifteen years.]
