King Josiah of Judah [y2_w36]

King Josiah's dad and grandfather were kings, and not very good kings at all. Josiah became king at the age of 8, and it wasn't until the 18th year of his reign that in the process of repairing the Temple a scroll was discovered. It was the Book of the Law (the Torah). King Josiah was deeply saddened at how far God's people had strayed from Him and had the people renew the covenant with the LORD.

King Hezekiah of Judah [y2_w35]

King Hezekiah was a good king. He helped turn the idolatry of his fellow Israelites back to the LORD. During Hezekiah's reign, the northern kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Assyrians, which in turn, came knocking on Judah's doorstep. The King and the people sought the LORD while under siege from Sennacherib, King of Assyria. The LORD rescued them from Sennacherib's hand and spared them.
