Josías, rey de Judá(A)(B)

34 Josías tenía ocho años cuando ascendió al trono, y reinó en Jerusalén treinta y un años. Josías hizo lo que agrada al Señor, pues siguió el buen ejemplo de su antepasado David; no se desvió de él en el más mínimo detalle.

En el año octavo de su reinado, siendo aún muy joven, Josías comenzó a buscar al Dios de su antepasado David. En el año duodécimo empezó a purificar a Judá y a Jerusalén, quitando los santuarios paganos, las imágenes de la diosa Aserá, y los ídolos y las imágenes de metal fundido.
