Josiah (jan 23, 640 BC – jan 29, 609 BC)
Description:
Josiah reigned in Judah for 31 years. He did what was good in the sight of the Lord. What inspired Josiah is that they found the Book of the Law. This is important because the people were not following the Book of the Law earlier and now they can.
Extra detail: He got rid of the altars of Baal and the Asherim and carves and metal images.
