What are the family idols mentioned in the Bible? What Does 2 Kings 23:24 Mean FurthermoreThe verse opens with a linking word that keeps the reader connected to the flow of Josiah’s sweeping reforms (2 Kings 23:4-23). It signals that what follows is not an isolated act but part of a larger, wholehearted return to covenant faithfulness, echoing earlier revival movements such as those under Hezekiah (2 Chron 29:3-11). Josiah removed the mediums and spiritists • Scripture consistently condemns occult practices (Leviticus 19:31; Deuteronomy 18:10-12; Isaiah 8:19). • By driving out “the mediums and spiritists,” Josiah protects the nation from voices that compete with the revealed word of God. • This move mirrors Saul’s earlier purge (1 Samuel 28:3) but, unlike Saul, Josiah does not later turn back to the very practices he banned. the household gods and idols • “Household gods” (teraphim) were small images kept for personal blessing or divination (Genesis 31:19; Hosea 3:4). • Josiah’s destruction of private idols complements his earlier removal of public idols (2 Kings 23:6). • His thoroughness affirms the first commandment: “You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:3). and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem • The word “abominations” gathers every form of detestable worship: high-place altars, Asherah poles, male cult prostitutes (2 Kings 23:7-10). • Removing them restores the land’s holiness, aligning with Deuteronomy 12:2-4, which commands Israel to “destroy completely all the high places.” • The reforms cover both countryside (“the land of Judah”) and capital (“Jerusalem”), underscoring that sin’s reach had been comprehensive and so must be repentance. He did this to carry out the words of the law • Josiah’s motive is obedience, not political advantage. His actions fulfill the covenant obligations re-read to him (2 Kings 22:11-13). • Obedience to the written Word is the hallmark of genuine revival (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 119:9). • By aligning practice with Scripture, Josiah models how personal conviction must translate into public reform. written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of the LORD • The “book” is most likely Deuteronomy or a significant portion of the Pentateuch (2 Kings 22:8-10). • Its discovery reminds us that God’s Word, though sometimes neglected, endures and convicts when rediscovered (Nehemiah 8:1-9). • The setting—“the house of the LORD”—highlights that true reformation begins in God’s presence and spreads outward. summary 2 Kings 23:24 shows Josiah finishing what he started: eradicating every rival to Yahweh, both public and private, visible and hidden. His driving motive is simple obedience to the recovered Scriptures. The verse teaches that genuine reform demands thorough removal of sin and unwavering submission to God’s written Word. (24) Moreover the workers . . .--After abolishing public idolatry, Josiah attacked the various forms of private superstition.The workers with familiar spirits.--The necromancers ('oboth; 1Samuel 28:3 seq.). (See 2Kings 21:6.) Images.--See margin; and Genesis 31:19; Judges 17:5; 1Samuel 19:13; Zechariah 10:2. . . . Verse 24. - Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards. Persons of these classes had been encouraged by Manasseh, in his earlier reign (2 Kings 21:6), and probably by Amon (2 Kings 21:21). As Josiah designed a thorough reformation, it was necessary for him to put them down. And the images; literally, the teraphim, which are thought to have been small images kept as household gods in many Israelite families from a very ancient date (see Genesis 31:19-35). The superstition was exceedingly persistent. We find it under the judges (Judges 18:14), under Saul (1 Samuel 19:13), here under the later kings, and it is still mentioned after the return from the Captivity (Zechariah 10:2). The superstition was, apparently, Babylonian (Ezekiel 21:21), and brought from Ur of the Chaldees by the family of Abraham. Besides being regarded as household gods, the teraphim were used in divination. And the idols, and all the abominations that were spied. The "idols," gillulim, are probably, like the teraphim, of a private nature, figures used as amulets or talismans. Excepting in Ezekiel, the word is an uncommon one. By the "abominations that were spied" are meant secret defilements and superstitious practices in households, which needed to be searched out. (So Thenius and Bahr.) In the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. Not, apparently, in the cities of Samaria, where such a rigid inquisition would perhaps have provoked a stubborn resistance. Did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the Law; rather, that he might establish the words of the Law. Laws against such practices as Josiah now put down will be found in Exodus 22:18; Leviticus 19:31; Leviticus 20:27; Deuteronomy 18:10-12. Which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord (see 2 Kings 22:8).Parallel Commentaries ...
