Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Compare the parallel history of 2 Kings 22:0 notes; 23:1-30 notes; the writer here being more full on the celebration of the Passover. The only approach to a discrepancy between the two narratives is with respect to the time of the religions reformation, which the writer of Chronicles distinctly places before, the author of Kings after, the repair of the temple. The best explanation seems to be, that the author of Kings has departed from the chronological order, to which he makes no profession of adhering.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible

also in Manasseh, Ephraim, Simeon, and even to Naphtali, 1-7.

purpose, and employs workmen, 8-13.
Hilkiah the priest finds the book of the law in the temple,
which is read by Shaphan before the king, 14-19.
He is greatly troubled, and consults Huldah the prophetess,
20-22.
Her exhortation, and message to the king, 23-28.
