It highlights Josiah’s commitment to doing what is right in the LORD’s eyes and emphasizes early reforms: destroying idols and evil altars, repairing and restoring the temple of God, and responding to the Book of the Law. The narrative explains how reading the Law to the people led them to agree to live by it and eliminate wrongdoing across the land.","A Boy Becomes King  \nPrimer  \nEnglish Spiritual  \nA Boy Becomes King  \nAuthor: Marlene Custer  \nIllustrations: International Illustrations: Art of Reading 3.0  \nEnglish  \nUSA  \nScripture taken from the Holy Bible, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION.

What do most eight-year-old boys like to do?  \nThey like to eat, that is for sure! They like to run and play with friends. And most young boys like to climb trees.  \nJosiah lived a long, long time ago. His father was a king. But I am sure Josiah liked to do things that most boys his age like to do.  \nHe probably played in  \nthe dirt, swam with his friends, and did a little fishing.  \nHe most likely helped his mother with simple chores. And, of course, boys his age had lessons to learn.  \nSo what is different about Josiah? Well, when Josiah was just eight years old, his father died. Josiah became the king of Judah!  \nInterestingly, Josiah was a better king than his father. Josiah did what was right in the eyes of the LORD.  \nVery early in his reign, Josiah ordered that all idols and evil altars be destroyed.  \nThen he ordered that the temple of God be repaired and restored.  \nWhile the workmen were working on the temple, they found the Book of the Law.  \nWhen King Josiah heard the words in the Book of the Law, he was very upset. He called all the people together and read the words to them. The people agreed to live by the words Josiah read to them. They destroyed all the bad, evil things in the whole land. They destroyed all the evil places in the land.","cbCaisIB5oFWNLcx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisIB5oFWNLcx","pdf",1100775,1,14,"English","en",105,"# Josiah Becomes King\n## Reform and Destruction of Idols\n## Repairing the Temple and Reading the Book of the Law","[{\"question\":\"How did Josiah become king of Judah?\",\"answer\":\"When Josiah was eight years old, his father died.
