Today we read an encouraging chapter about a good king whom God used to launch a key revival in Judah. This study in 2 Kings 22 will show us the kind of heart that God uses to bring reform to His people. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. According to verse 8, how old was Josiah when he became king? How long was his reign? How do you think his age would have affected the kind of impact he might have as a king? 2. According to verse 2, what was Josiah's character like? How was this unlike the character of his father Amon or his grandfather Manasseh? What in this passage gives us a sense of why Josiah didn't turn out like his father or grandfather? 3. What directive does King Josiah give in verses 3-7? What does this show us about his priorities? In your life today, where can you reflect a similar set of priorities? 4. What is found in verse 8? Why does this seem strange to have "found" this now? Why do you think it had become "lost"? 5. This event occurred only 57 years after Hezekiah's reign. What do you think happened to their biblical training to have fallen so far so fast? How can we avoid a similar outcome in our day? 6. What was King Josiah's reaction to the Word in verse 11? Why do you think he reacted this way? How do you react when you read convicting portions of God's Word? 7. What was Josiah concerned about in verse 13? Why do you think he had this concern? Given the state of Judah, was this a valid concern? 8. What message did Huldah the prophetess have for Josiah in verses 18-20? How did the Lord describe Josiah's heart in verse 19? How did Josiah's actions reflect this kind of a heart? 9. When you consider how you conduct your life, what heart does it reflect? Are there any ways that it does not reflect a "tender" and "humble" heart to the Lord?
