Following on from reigns of two kings, Manasseh and Amon, who did what was “evil” in the eyes of the Lord (2 Kings 21:2,20), we have the reign of good king, Josiah: “Josiah did what the Lord considered right” (2 Kings 22:2). During Josiah’s reign, there is the rediscovery of God’s Word (2 Kings 22:8) and the reading of His Word to the people (2 Kings 23:2). This led to a true commitment of Josiah’s life to the Lord (2 Kings 22:25). Sadly, Josiah’s reign was followed by the evil reigns of His two sons, Jehoahaz (2 Kings 22:32) and Jehoiakim (2 Kings 22:37).
