22 Jo·siʹah+ was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned for 31 years in Jerusalem.+ His mother’s name was Je·diʹdah the daughter of A·daiʹah from Bozʹkath.+ 2 He did what was right in Jehovah’s eyes and walked in all the ways of David his forefather,+ and he did not deviate to the right or to the left.

2 The word of Jehovah came to him in the days of Jo·siʹah+ the son of Aʹmon,+ the king of Judah, in the 13th year of his reign.
