2 Kings 23:26-37

23:26-27 | The sins of Manasseh had so provoked the Lord that not even Josiah’s vast reforms and thorough disposal of idol worship could dissuade God from judging Judah.

23:33 | A tribute was a tax.

23:37 | Jehoiakim’s evil reign is detailed in 2 Chronicles 36:5-8 and Jeremiah 22:13-17; 25:1-7. He burned Jeremiah’s scroll that contained the Lord’s word for the nation of Judah (Jer. 36:21-24) and murdered the prophet Urijah (Jer. 26:20-23).
