King Josiah
King Josiah ruled from 640 -609 BCE. During his reign, he started a great reform against the idolatrous ways of Amon his father, and Manasseh his grandfather. He was guided by the pious High Priest Hilkiah and his son, the prophet Jeremiah.
2 Kings 22:1-2 “Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem… He did what was pleasing to the L-RD and he followed all the ways of his ancestor David…
2 Chronicles 34:3 In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the G-d of his father David, and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the shrines, the sacred posts, the idols, and the molten images.”
