Haydock's commentary
Directed. Greek, "prosperous in converting the people," 4 Kings xxii., and 2 Paralipomenon xxxiv. (Haydock)
He began when he was only eight years old: but set to work more effectually ten years afterwards. The prophets complain of the disorders which prevailed before that period. (Calmet)
