When Josiah was in his eighth year as king, he began to follow the God that David his ancestor followed. Josiah was still young when he began to obey God. When Josiah was in his twelfth year as king he began to destroy the high places {\cf2\super [421]} , the Asherah Poles, {\cf2\super [422]} and idols that were carved and idols that were made from molds from Judah and Jerusalem.
When Josiah was in his 18th year as king of Judah he sent Shaphan, Maaseiah, and Joah to build again and fix the temple {\cf2\super [426]} of the Lord his God. Shaphan’s father’s name was Azaliah. Maaseiah was the city leader, and Joah’s father’s name was Jehoahaz. Joah was the man that wrote about the things that happened.
I will make all those things happen because those people of Jerusalem have not listened to my message.” This message is from the Lord. “I sent my message to them again and again. I used my servants, the prophets, to give my messages to those people. But the people didn’t listen.” This message is from the Lord.
“Jonadab son of Recab ordered his sons not to drink wine, and that command has been obeyed. Until today, the descendants {\cf2\super [296]} of Jonadab obeyed their ancestor’s {\cf2\super [297]} command. They don’t drink wine. But I am the Lord. And I have given you people of Judah messages again and again, but you didn’t obey me.
I sent my servants the prophets to you people of Israel and Judah. I sent them to you again and again. Those prophets said to you, ‘Each of you people of Israel and Judah must stop doing evil things. You must be good. Don’t follow other gods. Don’t worship or serve them. If you obey me, then you will live in the land I have given to you and your ancestors.’ But you people have not paid attention to my message.
