Main Scripture: 2 Kings 22:1-2 (NKJV) "Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord and walked in all the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left."
Supporting Scriptures
