      1;  Josiah keeps a most solemn passover.
     20;  He provoking Pharaoh-necho, is slain at Megiddo.
     25;  Lamentations for Josiah.

     * Josiah.
       The whole solemnity was performed with great exactness
       according to the law, and upon that account there was none
       like it since Samuel's time; for even in Hezekiah's passover
       there were several irregularities.  Bp. Patrick observes, that
       in this also it exceeded the other passovers which preceding
       things had kept, that though Josiah was by no means so rich as
       David, or Solomon, or Jehoshaphat, yet he furnished the
       congregation with beasts for sacrifice, both paschal and
       eucharistical, at his own proper cost and charge, which was
       more than any king ever did before.

     # 30:1-27; 2Ki 23:21-23|
     * the fourteenth.
     # Ex 12:6; Nu 9:3; De 16:1-8; Ezr 6:19; Eze 45:21|
       Josiah's solemnization of the passover, which is merely
       alluded to at 2; Ki 23:21, is very particularly related her,
       while the destruction of idolatry is largely related in the
       Kings, and here only touched upon.  The feasts of the Lord
       God, appointed by the ceremonial law, were very numerous; but
       the passover was the chief.  It was the first which was
       solemnized in the night wherein Israel came out of Egypt, and
       ushered in those which were afterwards instituted:  and it was
       the last great feast which was held in the night wherein
       Christ was betrayed, before the vail of the temple was rent in
       twain.  Be means of this feast, both Josiah and Hezekiah
       revived religion in their day.
