2 Chronicles 34 · Grade 3
Not to the Right or the Left
Read the Story
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign. He did right in Yahweh's eyes. He walked in the ways of David. He did not turn to the right or to the left. While still young, he began to seek God. Then he cleaned the land of idols.
Josiah sent men to repair Yahweh's house. Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Yahweh given by Moses. Shaphan read it to the king. When the king heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes.
Huldah the prophetess said that because Josiah's heart was tender and he humbled himself, God had heard him. Josiah gathered the people and read them the book. He made a covenant to keep God's commands with all his heart. All his days the people served Yahweh.
