John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Chronicles 34:19

Rent his clothes — Were the things contained in scripture new to us, as they were here to Josiah, surely they would make deeper impressions upon us than they commonly do. But they are not the less weighty, and therefore should not be the less regarded, because they are well known.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he (k) rent his clothes.

(k) For sorrow that the word of God had been so long suppressed and the people kept in ignorance, considering also the curses contained in it against the transgressors.
