Josiah's Reforms

Josiah's Reforms

As Josiah finished reading the scroll of God to the people, he cried out to God on their behalf and led them in making a covenant with God. After the people went home, he ordered Hilkiah and his men to banish any remaining priests of Baal they could find. Josiah even went to the forests to tear down the high places that generations of kings had erected there! Josiah did great things for his people to lead them back to their God.

2 Kings 23:24
In our previous episode, we were introduced to King Josiah. He began to rule Judah very early, but his constant search for wisdom and godly instruction led him to rule with honor and integrity. He tore down altars to false gods and restored the temple, and the scroll of the Law of Moses was discovered during the restoration. When faced with the reality of Judah and Israel’s unfaithfulness, Josiah sought a prophet of God for insight on how to make things right. And even though the prophecy he received foretold Judah’s judgment and captivity, Josiah committed himself and his people to live rightly before the Lord.
