Contextual Overview

1 Iosia was eyght yeres olde when he began to raigne, and he raigned in Hierusalem thirtie and one yeres. 2 And he dyd that whiche was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the wayes of Dauid his father, and bowed neither to the right hand nor to the left. 3 In the eyght yere of his raigne, when he was yet a childe, he began to seke after the God of Dauid his father: And in the twelfth yere he began to purge Iuda & Hierusalem from the high places, groues, carued images, and images of metall. 4 And they brake downe the aulters of Baalim euen in his presence: and other images that were in greater honour then they, he caused to be destroyed: And the groues, carued images, and images of metall he brake and made dust of them, and strowed it vpon the graues of them that had offered vnto them. 5 And he burnt the bones of the priestes vpon the aulters of them, and clensed Iuda and Hierusalem: 6 And euen so did he in the cities of Manasse, Ephraim, Simeon, vnto Nephthali, and in the wildernesse of them rounde about, 7 He plucked asunder the aulters & the groues, & did beate the images & stampe them to powder, and cut downe all the idoles throughout all the lande of Israel, and returned to Hierusalem againe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali,.... Which though they belonged to the ten tribes, yet these being carried captive by the king of Assyria, they that were left became subject to the kings of Judah,

:-,

with their mattocks round about; or hammers or mauls, as Kimchi, or pick axes, such sort of instruments as were used in demolishing altars and images: the Targum is,

"in the house of their desolation;''

and so other versions, "in their desolate places" x, which were become such, the inhabitants being carried captive, and few left behind.

x בתרבתיהם "in desolatis locis suis, [vel] eorum", Montanus, Tigurine version, Rambachius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The power of Assyria being now (629-624 B.C.) greatly weakened, if not completely broken, Josiah aimed not merely at a religious reformation, but at a restoration of the kingdom to its ancient limits (see the 2 Kings 23:19 note).

With their mattocks ... - Or “in their desolate places” (comparePsalms 109:10; Psalms 109:10). Another reading gives the sense, “he proved their house round about.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 34:6. The cities of Manasseh — Even those who were under the government of the Israelitish king permitted their idols and places of idolatry to be hewn down and destroyed: after the truth was declared and acknowledged, the spade and the axe were employed to complete the reformation.
