Josiah was a good king. 2 Kings 23 tells us specific reasons he was admired. As I read through the chapter, he cleaned house. Out with worship and symbols of other gods. Out with leaders not obedient to God. Out with any practices contrary to God's law.
As a result Josiah is remembered as a king beyond comparison. He was more obedient and humble before the Lord than most everyone but David. In a listing of so many bad kings, this leaves hope that leaders can be good. Our world can be cynical toward leaders today...yet, we are reminded in 2 Kings leaders can be good.
All leaders today would do well to remember the obedience and humility of Josiah.
