2 Chronicles 34:1 BBE

¹  Josiah was eight years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years.

²  And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of his father David, without turning to the right hand or to the left.

³  In the eighth year of his rule, while he was still young, his heart was first turned to the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he undertook the clearing away of all the high places and the pillars and the images of wood and metal from Judah and Jerusalem.
