To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor did the nation ever forget a king so virtuous in his life and sozealous for the Law. Long after the return from captivity the singers ofIsrael sang his praises, and popular veneration for him increased withthe lapse of time; for in virtues and piety, and uninterrupted zeal forJehovah, Josiah never had an equal among the kings of Judah.
The services of this good king were long remembered. To him may betraced the unyielding devotion of the Jews, after the Captivity, for therites and forms and... ceremonies which are found in the books of the Law. The legalisms of the Scribes may be traced to him. He reigned but twelveyears after his great reformation, --not long enough to root out theheathenism which had prevailed unchecked for nearly seventy years. Withhim perished the hopes of the kingdom.
After his death the decline was rapid. A great reaction set in, andfaction was accompanied with violence. The heathen party triumphed overthe orthodox party. The passions which had been suppressed since thedeath of Manasseh burst out with all the frenzy and savage hatred whichhave ever marked the Jews in their religious contentions, and these wereunrestrained by the four kings who succeeded Josiah.
