Josiah Reigns in Judah
1 Josiah awas eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
2 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still ayoung, he began to bseek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began cto purge Judah and Jerusalem dof the high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images.
4 aThey broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and the incense altars which were above them he cut down; and the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images he broke in pieces, and made dust of them band scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
5 He also aburned the bones of the priests on their baltars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
6 And so he did in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, as far as Naphtali and all around, with axes.
