Josiah

eight
years
old
when he began to
reign

reigned
in
Jerusalem
one

thirty
years
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:2
@ And he
did
that which was
right
in the
sight
of the
LORD
, and
walked
in the
ways
of
David
his
father
, and
declined
neither to the right

left
s@.
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:3
@ For in the
eighth
year
of his
reign
, while he was yet
young
, he
began
to
seek
after the
God
of
David
his
father
: and in the
twelfth
sh@
year
he
began
to
purge
Judah

Jerusalem
from the high
places
, and the
groves
, and the carved
images
, and the molten
images
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:4
@ And they brake
down
the
altars
of
Baalim
in his
presence
; and the
images
, that were on high above
them
, he cut
down
; and the
groves
, and the carved
images
, and the molten
images
, he brake in
pieces
, and made
dust
of them, and
strowed
it
upon
the
graves
of them that had
sacrificed
unto them.
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:5
@ And he
burnt
the
bones
of the
priests
upon their
altars
, and
cleansed
Judah
and
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:6
@ And so did he in the
cities
of
Manasseh
, and
Ephraim
, and
Simeon
, even unto
Naphtali
, with their
mattocks
round
about
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:7

down
the
altars

beaten
the graven
images
into
powder

down
all the
idols
throughout all the
land

returned
to
Jerusalem

strkjv@2Chronicles:34:8
@ Now in the

son

Joahaz

came

gathered

put
it in the
hand

oversight

gave
it to the
workmen

wrought
in the
house

LORD

repair

amend
the
house

destroyed

work
faithfully

answered

Hilkiah
delivered

enquire
of the

great
is the
wrath

answered

Tell
ye the

that are
written
in the
book
which they have
read
before
the
king

strkjv@2Chronicles:34:25
@ Because they have
forsaken
me, and have burned
incense
unto
other
gods

anger

wrath
shall be poured
out
upon this

quenched

@ And as
for
the
king

sent
you to

say
unto him, Thus
saith
the
LORD
God
of
Israel
concerning the
words
which thou hast
heard
;
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:27
@ Because thine
heart
was
tender
, and thou didst
humble
thyself
before
God
, when thou
heardest
his
words
against this
place
, and against the
inhabitants
thereof, and
humbledst
thyself
before
me, and didst
rend
thy
clothes
, and
weep
before
me; I have even
heard
thee also,
saith
the
LORD
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:34:28
@ Behold, I will
gather
thee to thy
fathers

gathered
to thy
grave
in
peace

eyes
see
all the
evil
that I will
bring
upon this
place

inhabitants
of the same. So they
brought
the
king
word
again
