b'In our last episode we were introduced to King Josiah who began his reign over Judah at the mere age of nine. As we pick up 2 Chronicles, we\\u2019ll hear a parallel account to our reading from 2 Kings 22, but then we\\u2019ll continue onward and cover more ground. After sending his men to consult a prophetess named Huldah, Josiah learns that the wrath of God is coming upon Judah soon. When Josiah realizes that their days are numbered, he cleans house both figuratively and literally. The Lord\\u2019s temple was full of idolatrous objects and practices, and he gets rid of them all. The Lord honors Josiah\\u2019s zeal and humility by promising that his wrath will not come upon Judah during the king\\u2019s lifetime, but God will certainly send Judah into exile in the near future.'
