Josiah becomes king at eight years old and seeks the Lord earnestly. He destroys idols throughout Judah and Israel. During temple repairs, the Book of the Law is found. On hearing it, Josiah tears his clothes in repentance. Huldah the prophetess confirms coming judgment but promises Josiah will not see it because of his humility. Josiah leads the nation in renewing the covenant with God.
Christ-Foreshadowing: Josiah’s tender heart toward God’s Word prefigures Christ, who perfectly fulfills and teaches the Law.
