11 King Josiah was born around 648 B.C.; became king in 640 B.C.; began his reforms in 628 B.C.; ordered Temple repairs in 622 B.C.; and died in 609 B.C.

12 Purging the Evil

13 Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother s name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath. He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in all the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right or to the left. (II Kings 22:1-2)

14 In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David. In his twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of high places, Asherah poles, carved idols and cast images. (II Chronicles 34:3)

15 What did King Josiah do? (II Kings 23:4-20; II Chronicles 34:3-7) Removed Baal-worship articles from the Temple Did away with the pagan priests Tore down the dwellings of the male shrine prostitutes Desecrated the high places dedicated to pagan gods Smashed to pieces the pagan altars

16 What else did King Josiah do? Desecrated the high places built by Solomon for his wives Made a sweep through Israel, abolishing idolatry Demolished the high altar at Bethel erected by Jeroboam Removed all of the pagan shrines in Israel

17 Following the Law

18 Restoring the Temple In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent the secretary, Shaphan son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the temple of the LORD. (II Kings 22:3)

19 Finding the Law Scroll Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, I have found the Book of the Law in the temple of the LORD. He gave it to Shaphan, who read it. (II Kings 22:8)

20 Reacting to the Reading of the Law Scroll When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his robes. (II Kings 22:11)

21 Inquiring of the Lord Go and inquire of the LORD for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the LORD s anger that burns against us because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book; they have not acted in accordance with all that is written there concerning us. (II Kings 22:13)

22 Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Acbor, Shaphan and Asaiah went to speak to the prophetess Huldah, who was the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District. (II Kings 22:14)

23 Renewing the Covenant Then the king called together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. He went up to the temple of the LORD with the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, the priests and the prophets all the people from the least to the greatest. He read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant, which had been found in the temple of the LORD.

24 The king stood by the pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the LORD to follow the LORD and keep his commands, regulations and decrees with all his heart and all his soul, thus confirming the words of the covenant written in this book. Then all the people pledged themselves to the covenant. (II Kings 23:1-3)

25 Celebrating the Passover The king gave this order to all the people: Celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant. (II Kings 23:21)

26 Cleansing the Land Josiah removed all the detestable idols from all the territory belonging to the Israelites, and he had all who were present in Israel serve the LORD their God. As long as he lived, they did not fail to follow the LORD, the God of their fathers. (II Chronicles 34:33)

27 Assessing the Results

28

29 [Prophetess Huldah speaking] Therefore I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be buried in peace. Your eyes will not see all the disaster I am going to bring on this place. (II Kings 22:20)

30 Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the LORD as he did with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses. (II Kings 23:25)

31 Nevertheless, the LORD did not turn away from the heat of his fierce anger, which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to provoke him to anger. So the LORD said, I will remove Judah also from my presence as I removed Israel, and I will reject Jerusalem, the city I chose, and this temple, about which I said, There shall my Name be. (II Kings 23:26-27)

32 While Josiah was king, Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt went up to the Euphrates River to help the king of Assyria. King Josiah marched out to meet him in battle, but Neco faced him and killed him at Megiddo.

33 Josiah s servants brought his body in a chariot from Megiddo to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father. (II Kings 23:29-30)

34 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah. He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as his fathers had done. (II Kings 23:31-32)

35 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother s name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah; she was from Rumah. And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as his fathers had done. (II Kings 23:36-37)

36 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem. He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father had done. (II Kings 24:8-9)

37 What can we learn from King Josiah s Cultural Revival?

38 Revivals can and do happen!

39

40 Revivals bring good (and some bad) fruit.

41 The counsels of God with regard to cultures and nations are inscrutable.

42 Revivals, no matter how good or godly, do not last.
