3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.
[AD 9999] Pseudo-Tertullian on 2 Chronicles 34:1-8
With zeal immense, Josiah,
Himself a prince, acted in such a way
As no one before or after him had ever done!—Idols he
Dethroned; destroyed unhallowed temples; burned
With fire priests on their altars; all the bones
Of false prophets were dug up; the altars burned,
The carcasses to be consumed did serve
For fuel!
