Josiah was eight years old when he became king. He did what was right. He followed God like David did.

Workers were fixing God's house. The priest found a book. It was the book of God's law! A helper read it to the king.

Josiah tore his clothes. He was sad that the people had not obeyed. God saw his tender heart. God was pleased with Josiah.
