Josiah
Josiah was the 16th king of Judah. He was a young man when he became king, but he ruled for 31 years and made many important changes. He removed official worship of gods other than Yahweh, and he is credited with establishing or compiling important Hebrew scriptures. Josiah is known only from biblical texts, but most scholars believe that he existed historically.
