Question; Which King of Judah became another Joshua as he led Israel in Covenant renewal?

Wikipedia: Religious reform[edit]

The Second Book of Chronicles records that Josiah was eight years old when he became king. In the eighth year of his reign, he "began to seek the God of his father David" and in the twelfth year of that reign he began a program of destruction of Baalist

altars and images throughout Jerusalem and Judah. [14] The Chronicler records in detail the execution of this program, whereas the account in 2Kings begins with the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem, which both accounts say was initiated in the eighteenth year of his reign.[15]

Josiah ordered the High Priest Hilkiah

to use the tax money which had been collected over the years to renovate the Temple. While Hilkiah was clearing the treasure room of the Temple he discovered a scroll described in 2Kings as "the book of the Law",[16] and in 2Chronicles as "the book of the Law of the LORD given by Moses".[17] The phrase sefer ha-torah (ספר התורה) in 2Kings 22:8 is identical to the phrase used in Joshua 1:8 and 8:34 to describe the sacred writings that Joshua had received from Moses. The book is not identified in the text as the Torah and many scholars believe this was either a copy of the Book of Deuteronomy or a text that became a part of Deuteronomy.[18]

Comment: God had since Eden been trying to show, that obedience to Him was paramount, and that the free-will He had endowed on all people if used by people to fit into His request, would enable Him to defeat His great enemy, Satan.

God has allowed Satan (since his rebellion) to try to stop all Creation from relating to Him as Creator God, which would allow Satan to rise to the position of Ruler of God’s Universe. At present, he holds the title of “prince of this world”, and “prince of the powers of the air”, (Eph. 2:2, Jhn.16:11 and 2Cor. 4:4).

When the Jews rejected Jesus Messiah, they made inevitable God’s rejection of them (for a period), and God made the Gentiles His first priority for the spreading of the Gospel for the period from Acts 28:28, until “The Gentiles are fully in”, then “All Jews shall be saved” (Romans 11:25-26)!

It becomes clear when studying the Jews in the Old Testament, that they were a very difficult people, who did not stay faithful to their Jehovah God (see Malachi), (see: Israel and Deuteronomy 28), but who were/are endowed with great talent and purpose! God wanted them to use their talents in His quest to find a people of faith in Him; which kept their word, and which would be seen by all peoples in the world! In this they repeatedly failed, even preaching that their Messiah would not be Divine, “but only human”!
