Commentary

2 notes on this verse
Then the king sent and gathered,.... From hence, to the end of 2Ch 34:32, the same account is given of the reading of the law to the people, and of the covenant the king and they made to serve the Lord, as in 2Ki 23:1.

This site's exposition

gathered together all the elders

on 2 Chronicles 34:29-31

Where Kings has Josiah accompanied by priests and prophets when he reads the book publicly, Chronicles names priests and Levites instead, the substitution Barnes calls characteristic of this book's habit of crediting the Levites wherever it can. The king reads the covenant in the people's own ears rather than having it read to him alone, then stands in his place and makes the covenant himself before binding the nation to it. The reform turns public and communal at exactly the point where the private reading of the earlier verses had been the king's alone.
