According to the Hebrew Bible, Josiah ascended to the throne at the age of eight following the assassination of his father, King Amon. He reigned for 31 years, during which he expanded Judah and initiated major religious reforms, centralizing worship in Jerusalem and eliminating the worship of foreign gods.
