Josiah Succeeds Amon in Judah

34 ^(A)Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. ^2 (B)He did right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David and did not turn aside to the right or to the left. ³ For in the eighth year of his reign while he was still a youth, he began to ^(C)seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began ^(D)to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, the carved images and the molten images.
