Recent scholarship has rightly challenged the long-standing tendency to access the Chronicler’s thought-world primarily through analyzing divergences from his Vorlage. However, despite this corrective, interpretation of the Josianic Reformation in 2 Chronicles 34–35 remains overly influenced by parallel readings, most explicitly observable in the persistent tendency amongst scholars to undervalue the role of the rediscovered Torah in the Chronicler’s account. This paper contends that the significant role the Torah plays in the Chronicler’s Josiah narrative is often overlooked on account of an overreliance on reading Chronicles in light of 2 Kings. When analyzed independently from its Deuteronomistic Vorlage, the centrality of the Torah is clearly seen in (1) the prominence of Torah throughout Chronicles as a whole, (2) the intertextual connections between the Torah and 2 Chronicles 34–35, (3) Josiah’s deference to the Torah in his obedience, and (4) Josiah’s portrayal as a type of Moses. Thus, the role and function of the Torah, as well as the role and function of Josiah within the Chronicler’s account, highlight the centrality of the Torah when Chronicles is read on its own terms. To defend this, the paper first compares the role of the Torah in the Josiah narratives of 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, identifying interpretive biases that have contributed to the diminished view of Torah in scholarly interpretations of the Josiah narratives. It then demonstrates the Torah’s centrality in the Chronicler’s account through literary and theological analysis of the Josiah narrative, emphasizing its intertextual connections with the Torah, Josiah’s obedience to the Torah’s commands, and the role and function of King Josiah.
