The Quality of a Tender Heart
Commentators explain that Josiah's "tender heart" was one that was receptive and responsive to God's word. John Gill describes it as being "soft like wax" and susceptible to God's truth, while Matthew Henry contrasts it with the hardened hearts of the people. This quality of being genuinely moved by God's warnings is what the Lord saw and honored.
