Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

This is promised to Josiah here: Thou shalt go to thy grave in peace, which refers not to the manner of his death (for he was killed in a battle), but to the time of it; it was a little before the captivity in Babylon, that great trouble, in comparison with which the rest were as nothing, so that he might be truly said to die in peace that did not live to share in that.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
