2 Chronicles 34:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

34 Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one and thirty years in Jerusalem.

² And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father: he declined not, neither to the right hand, nor to the left.

³ And in the eighth year of his reign, when he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of his father David: and in the twelfth year after he began to reign, he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the idols, and the graven things.
