God's Word Fulfilled
Commentators emphasize that this moment is a direct and precise fulfillment of a prophecy made over 300 years earlier (1 Kings 13:2). King Josiah, upon learning the identity of the tomb, consciously spares the bones of the man of God. This act serves as a powerful confirmation that God's prophetic word is unfailing and will be accomplished in its exact time and detail, regardless of how much time has passed.
