Josiah

Who is he? King of Judah When did he live/act? Reign 641-609 B.C.E. What did he do? A faithful king and religious reformer. He had the Lord’s temple repaired, where a Book of Law was found (Deuteronomy). Then Josiah had the “high places” of other Gods eradicated with many massacres. Soon after is the Babylonian captivity, but the Lord allows Josiah to die in peace so his eyes “will not see all the disaster” that happens. (II Kings, Lecture notes 20 Feb)
