Josiah renews the covenant

2 Kings 23:1-14
Josiah renews the covenant.
The king stood by the pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the Lord - to follow the Lord and keep his commands, regulations and decrees with all his heart and all his soul, this confirming the words of the covenant written in this book. Then all the people pledged themselves to the covenant.

Josiah loses no time in acting on God's message through the prophet Juldah. Public reading of God's law is followed by renewal of the convenant-pack with God.
Then comes a purge of public places, ridding the land of objects associated with pagan worship.
Why?
For Josiah follow the word of the Lord and do it in action, he did not lose any time to obey God's command.
Let people renewed the covenant, make this actions not only to the king and officials, but to all people of Israel.
King has the authority let people do what he said, so Josiah made the most influence to Judah, to honor the name of the Lord, renew the covenant of the Lord.
How?
Follow the Lord and keep the commands of the Lord with all my heart and all my soul.
Be aware that I have covenant with the Lord either. Do not forget the covenant with the Lord!
