24 But the people of the land struck down all the conspirators+ against King Aʹmon. Then the people of the land made Jo·siʹah+ his son king in place of him.

22 Eight years old was Jo·siʹah+ when he began to reign, and for thirty-one years he reigned in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Je·diʹdah the daughter of A·daiʹah from Bozʹkath.+

15 And also the altar that was in Bethʹel,+ the high place that Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, who caused Israel to sin,+ had made, even that altar and the high place he pulled down. Then he burned the high place; he ground [it] to dust* and burned the sacred pole.

29 In his days Pharʹaoh Neʹchoh*+ the king of Egypt came up to the king of As·syrʹi·a* by the river Eu·phraʹtes,+ and King Jo·siʹah proceeded to go to meet him;+ but he put him to death+ at Me·gidʹdo+ as soon as he saw him.

33 After that Jo·siʹah removed all the detestable+ things out of all the lands that belonged to the sons of Israel,+ and he had all who were found in Israel take up service, to serve Jehovah their God. All his days they did not turn aside from following Jehovah the God of their forefathers.+
