Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat. 1:2
"Men's bones shall be burnt upon thee."
Although this prophecy was apparently fulfilled in 2 Kings 23:20, no credit should be given for it,
since it was supposedly given during the reign of Jeroboam (ca. 900 BCE), yet it was actually made
more than 300 years later. Evidence for the late date is found in verse 32, which refers to the the
northern kingdom as Samaria, a term that wasn't used until after the Assyrians captured that kingdom
in 721 BCE. And since the two books of Kings (which were originally one) were compiled after 566 BCE,
while Josiah died in 609 BCE, the prophecy was made after the prophesied event, and was, therefore,
not a prophecy at all. (Source: New Oxford Annotated Bible, OT:446; Oxford Companion to the Bible, 411)
