2 Chronicles 34:1-3 ▼

1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

2 He did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of his father David and did not turn aside to the right or the left.

3 For in the eighth year of his reign while he was still a youth, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, the carved images, and the cast metal images.
