TSNTyndale Study Notes:

23:8-9 The gate of Joshua is otherwise unknown; it might have been used by the city governor, a title known to refer to a city official in Samaria (1 Kgs 22:26; 2 Chr 18:25) and to Maaseiah in Jerusalem (2 Chr 34:8).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) Josiah brought … and defiled … He destroyed

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_brought DOM all/each/any/every the,priests from,cities Yehuda and,defiled DOM the,high_places which/who burned_incense where,at the,priests from,Geba until בְּאֵר שָׁבַע and,broke_down DOM high_places the,gates which/who entrance gate Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) chief the=city which on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in left (a)_man in/on/at/with,gate the=city )

Josiah would have commanded his workers to do these things. It is likely that Hilkiah and the priests who assisted him did these things. Alternate translation: “He commanded them to bring … and to defile … He had them destroy”
