2 Kings 23:8-9
_ _ he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places, etc. — Many of the Levitical order, finding in the reigns of Manasseh and Amon the temple-worship abolished and the tithes and other offerings alienated, had been betrayed into the folly of officiating on high places, and presenting such sacrifices as were brought to them. These irregularities, even though the object of that worship was the true God, were prohibited in the law (Deuteronomy 12:11). Those who had been guilty of this sin, Josiah brought to Jerusalem. Regarding them as defiled, he debarred them from the service of the temple, but gave them an allowance out of the temple revenues, like the lame and disabled members of the priesthood (Leviticus 21:21, Leviticus 21:22).
_ _ from Geba to Beer-sheba — the most northern and the most southern places in Judah — meaning all parts of the kingdom.
_ _ the high places ... which were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua — The governor’s house and gate were on the left of the city gate, and close by the entrance of that civic mansion house were public altars, dedicated, it might be, to the true God, but contrary to His own ordinance of worship (Isaiah 57:8). |
2 Kings 23:8
Priests — Belonging to the high — places following, whether such as worshipped idols; or such as worshipped God in those forbidden places. Defiled — By burning dead mens bones upon them, or by putting them to some other unclean use. From Geba — The northern border of the kingdom of Judah. Beer — sheba — The southern border, from one end to the other. Gates — Which were erected by the gates of the city here mentioned, to the honour of their tutelary gods, whom after the manner of the heathen they owned for the protectors of their city and habitations. The governor — This circumstance is noted to shew Josiah's great zeal and impartiality, in rooting out all monuments of idolatry, without any respects unto those great persons who were concerned in them. |

- etc. The northern and southern borders of Judah.
