Josiah Crowned At Eight Years Old
Following the assassination of his wicked father Amon, the people of the land have taken young Josiah and made him king over Judah. He is only eight years old. Despite his youth and the deeply corrupt environment he inherited, Josiah will grow to seek the God of his ancestor David and become one of the greatest reformers in Israel's history.
"Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem."
