22 UJosiya + wayeneminyaka engu-8 lapho eba yinkosi, wabusa iminyaka engu-31 eJerusalema. + Igama likanina kwakunguJedida indodakazi ka-Adaya waseBozikati. + 2 Wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova wahamba ngazo zonke izindlela zikaDavide ukhokho wakhe, + akazange aphambukele kwesokudla noma kwesobunxele.

23 Kodwa ngonyaka ka-18 weNkosi uJosiya, leli Phasika lagujelwa uJehova eJerusalema.

25 Akukho nkosi eyaba njengaye ngaphambi kwakhe, eyabuyela kuJehova ngayo yonke inhliziyo yayo nangawo wonke umphefumulo *+ wayo nangawo wonke amandla ayo, ngokuvumelana nawo wonke uMthetho KaMose; nangemva kwakhe akuvelanga nkosi efana naye.
