c. 622 BC
King Josiah, who became king at age eight, instituted sweeping religious reforms after the Book of the Law was discovered in the temple. He destroyed idolatrous altars, restored true worship, and renewed the covenant with God.
Josiah's reforms represent the last great spiritual revival in Judah before the exile. The rediscovery of God's Word sparked transformation, illustrating the power of Scripture to renew hearts and reform nations.
