- તેના શાસનના આઠમે વર્ષે, એટલે કે જયારે તે માત્ર સોળ વર્ષનો કિશોર હતો, ત્યારે તેણે પોતાના પૂર્વજ દાઉદના ઈશ્વરની શોધ કરવાની શરૂઆત કરી. બારમા વર્ષમાં તેણે ધર્મસ્થાનો, અશેરીમ મૂર્તિઓ, કોતરેલી મૂર્તિઓ તથા ઢાળેલી મૂર્તિઓને તોડીફોડી નાખીને યહૂદિયા તથા યરુશાલેમને તે શુદ્ધ કરવા લાગ્યો.

- वह लड़का ही था, अर्थात् उसको गद्दी पर बैठे आठ वर्ष पूरे भी न हुए थे कि अपने मूलपुरुष दाऊद के परमेश्वर की खोज करने लगा, और बारहवें वर्ष में वह ऊँचे स्थानों और अशेरा नामक मूरतों को और खुदी और ढली हुई मूरतों को दूर करके, यहूदा और यरूशलेम को शुद्ध करने लगा ।
In context
1Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
2He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or to the left.
3For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten images.
4They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and he cut down the incense altars that were on high above them. He broke the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten images in pieces, made dust of them, and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
5He burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
