Joe: Alright, so let's talk about 2 Chronicles 34. What's this one about?

Bible Expert: Well, this chapter is about the good king Josiah. He was only 8 years old when he began to reign and he was faithful to the Lord.

Joe: 8 years old! That's crazy!

Bible Expert: Yeah, it really is. He was the grandson of King Hezekiah and he started to seek the Lord when he was 16 years old.

Joe: Wow, that's impressive!

Bible Expert: Yes, it is. He was so dedicated to following God's commands that he tore down all the idols and altars in Judah and destroyed all the images of false gods. He even went so far as to rid the land of all the priests who served false gods.

Joe: So he was really serious about following God, huh?

Bible Expert: Absolutely! He also repaired the temple of the Lord and made sure all the sacrifices were being offered correctly. He even found the Book of the Law of the Lord and read it so he could make sure everyone followed the Lord's commands.

Joe: Wow, that's pretty remarkable.

Bible Expert: Yeah, it really is. He was so dedicated to the Lord that God showed him mercy and allowed him to live out his days in peace.
