Commentary
2 notes on this verseNote, Those who are serious in religion should, when they persuade others to do that which is good, make it as cheap and easy to them as may be. And where God sows plentifully he expects to reap accordingly. It is to be feared that the congregation generally had not come provided; so that, if Josiah had not furnished them, the work of God must have stood still.
This site's exposition
of the king’s substance
on 2 Chronicles 35:7-9
Josiah supplies thirty thousand lambs and kids and three thousand bullocks of his own substance, and his princes and the named chiefs of the priests and Levites, Hilkiah, Zechariah and Jehiel, then Conaniah, Shemaiah, Nethaneel, Hashabiah, Jeiel and Jozabad, add several thousand more on top of it, a larger provision than the king and princes together made for Hezekiah's passover in chapter 30. Chronicles keeps the names of the givers, the same instinct that names potters and gardeners at 1 Chr 4:23 for ordinary service done for the king.
