Josiah
was eight
years
old
when he began to reign,
and he reigned
in Jerusalem
one
and thirty
years.
And he did
that which was right
in the sight
of the LORD,
and walked
in the ways
of David
his father,
and declined
neither to the right hand,
nor to the left.
For in the eighth
year
of his reign,
while he was yet young,
he began
to seek
after the God
of David
his father:
and in the twelfth
year
he began
to purge
Judah
and Jerusalem
from the high places,
and the groves,
and the carved images,
and the molten images.

And they brake down
the altars
of Baalim
in his presence;
and the images,
that were on high above them,
he cut down;
and the groves,
and the carved images,
and the molten images,
he brake in pieces,
and made dust
of them, and strowed
it upon
the graves
of them that had sacrificed
unto them.

And he burnt
the bones
of the priests
upon their altars,
and cleansed
Judah
and Jerusalem.
And so did he in the cities
of Manasseh,
and Ephraim,
and Simeon,
even unto Naphtali,
with their mattocks
round about.
And when he had broken down
the altars
and the groves,
and had beaten
the graven images
into powder,
and cut down
all the idols
throughout all the land
of Israel,
he returned
to Jerusalem.

Now in the eighteenth
year
of his reign,
when he had purged
the land,
and the house,
he sent
Shaphan
the son
of Azaliah,
and Maaseiah
the governor
of the city,
and Joah
the son
of Joahaz
the recorder,
to repair
the house
of the LORD
his God.

And when they came
to Hilkiah
the high
priest,
they delivered
the money
that was brought
into the house
of God,
which the Levites
that kept
the doors
had gathered
of the hand
of Manasseh
and Ephraim,
and of all the remnant
of Israel,
and of all Judah
and Benjamin;
and they returned
to Jerusalem.

Go,
enquire
of the LORD
for me, and for them that are left
in Israel
and in Judah,
concerning the words
of the book
that is found:
for great
is the wrath
of the LORD
that is poured out
upon us, because our fathers
have not kept
the word
of the LORD,
to do
after all that is written
in this book.
And Hilkiah,
and they that the king
had appointed, went
to Huldah
the prophetess,
the wife
of Shallum
the son
of Tikvath,
the son
of Hasrah,
keeper
of the wardrobe;
(now she dwelt
in Jerusalem
in the college:

to her to that effect.

And she answered
them, Thus saith
the LORD
God
of Israel,
Tell
ye the man
that sent
you to me,
Thus saith
the LORD,
Behold, I will bring
evil
upon this place,
and upon the inhabitants
thereof, even all the curses
that are written
in the book
which they have read
before
the king
of Judah:
Because they have forsaken
me, and have burned incense
unto other
gods,
that they might provoke me to anger
with all the works
of their hands;
therefore my wrath
shall be poured out
upon this place,
and shall not be quenched.
And as for
the king
of Judah,
who sent
you to enquire
of the LORD,
so shall ye say
unto him, Thus saith
the LORD
God
of Israel
concerning the words
which thou hast heard;
Because thine heart
was tender,
and thou didst humble
thyself before
God,
when thou heardest
his words
against this place,
and against the inhabitants
thereof, and humbledst
thyself before
me, and didst rend
thy clothes,
and weep
before
me; I have even heard
thee also, saith
the LORD.

Behold, I will gather

and thou shalt be gathered
to thy grave
in peace,
neither shall thine eyes
see
all the evil
that I will bring
upon this place,
and upon the inhabitants
of the same. So they brought
the king
word
again.
Then the king
sent
and gathered together
all the elders
of Judah
and Jerusalem.
And the king
went up
into the house
of the LORD,
and all the men
of Judah,
and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem,
and the priests,
and the Levites,
and all the people,
great
and small:
and he read
in their ears
all the words
of the book
of the covenant
that was found
in the house
of the LORD.
And the king
stood
in his place,
and made
a covenant
before
the LORD,
to walk
after
the LORD,
and to keep
his commandments,
and his testimonies,
and his statutes,
with all his heart,
and with all his soul,
to perform
the words
of the covenant
which are written
in this book.

And he caused all that were present
in Jerusalem
and Benjamin
to stand
to it. And the inhabitants
of Jerusalem
did
according to the covenant
of God,
the God
of their fathers.
And Josiah
took away
all the abominations
out of all the countries
that pertained to the children
of Israel,
and made all that were present
in Israel
to serve,
even to serve
the LORD
their God.
And all his days
they departed
not from following
the LORD,
the God
of their fathers.
