A Prophecy Fulfilled
Commentators emphasize that Josiah's destruction of the altar at Bethel was not a random act of zeal. It was the precise fulfillment of a prophecy made centuries earlier by a man of God (1 Kings 13:2). This demonstrates God's sovereignty over history and how His word is always accomplished, even generations later.
