1 Iosia was eyght yeres olde when he began to raigne, and he raigned in Hierusalem thirtie and one yeres. 2 And he dyd that whiche was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the wayes of Dauid his father, and bowed neither to the right hand nor to the left. 3 In the eyght yere of his raigne, when he was yet a childe, he began to seke after the God of Dauid his father: And in the twelfth yere he began to purge Iuda & Hierusalem from the high places, groues, carued images, and images of metall. 4 And they brake downe the aulters of Baalim euen in his presence: and other images that were in greater honour then they, he caused to be destroyed: And the groues, carued images, and images of metall he brake and made dust of them, and strowed it vpon the graues of them that had offered vnto them. 5 And he burnt the bones of the priestes vpon the aulters of them, and clensed Iuda and Hierusalem: 2 Chronicles 34:1-5, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
