It took me two sessions of 10 minutes to read this passage. This passage begins with the good news of the acts of King Josiah. He was very good in following God, but when God spoke through the king of Egypt (35:22), Josiah ignored the words and paid with his life. The 31 years of good that Josiah had done were undone in less than 11 years. It was so bad that God saw no recourse but to send Judah into captivity. Yet the very end of the book is filled with God news. While this earth remains God has not said NEVER to people who would seek Him. I believe he will continue to leave that door open as long as there are people here. God moved the king of Persia to send the people of Israel back to the promised land.
