Commentary on 2 Chronicles 34:28

Theological / Devotional

In peace. This prophecy was conditional, and because Josiah did not heed the warnings given, but rashly insisted on war with the king of Egypt, he died, not in peace, but of battle wounds (2 Chron. 35:20-24; see EGW, Supplementary Material on 2 Kings 23:29, 30). Nor was it the privilege of his successors to pass their years in peace:

Jehoahaz was taken to Egypt, where he died a captive (2 Kings 23:34); Jehoiakim was to be “buried with the burial of an ass,” to be “cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem” (Jer. 22:19); Jehoiachin was taken to Babylon, where he was released from prison in the 37th year of his captivity (2 Kings 25:27); and Zedekiah saw his sons slain before his eyes, and was then blinded and carried to Babylon (2 Kings 25:7).
