Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The writer has characteristically substituted âLevitesâ for the âprophetsâ of 2 Kings 23:2. No doubt Josiah was accompanied by priests, prophets, and Levites, but the writer of Kings thought it enough to mention the two former, and merged the Levites in the mass of the people. The writer of Chronicles, on the other hand, thinks the presence of Levites too important to he omitted, and as the prophets could be but few in number, passes them over.
