2 Chronicles 34:1-3

International Standard Version

Josiah Succeeds Amon^(A)

34 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for 31 years in Jerusalem. ² He practiced what the Lord considered to be right, following the example^[a] of his ancestor David, turning neither to the right nor to the left. ³ In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his ancestor David. In the twelfth year of his reign,^[b] he began to remove the high places, Asherim, carved images, and cast images from Judah and Jerusalem.
