Meet Josiah.

A young king responding to the law.

Who was Josiah?

Josiah became king of Judah while young. Later in his reign, a book of the law was found during work on the temple. He sought guidance and responded seriously to what was read.

Josiah sent people to consult Huldah after hearing the law. His response shows a leader recognising that he needed help understanding and acting on important words.
