2 Kings 23: Josiah’s Covenant and Reform

Josiah reads the covenant book to all Judah, renews the covenant, and purges idolatry from the temple, the land and Bethel, fulfilling prophecy. He keeps a great Passover and is praised as unmatched, yet God’s anger over Manasseh stands. Josiah is killed at Megiddo, and Pharaoh Neco replaces Jehoahaz with Jehoiakim.
