This man became king at age eight and died in battle thirty-one years later.
This man became king at age eight and died in battle thirty-one years later. That battle came about because the Pharoah Necho II took an expansionist stance, causing this monarch to ally himself with Assyria. His death at Hadadrimmon fulfiled the prophecy of Huldah that he would die before his kingdom went to its final, deserved ruin. [*] The most important event of his reign took place after he put Shaphan in charge of a construction project, in the course of which Hilkiah the priest made an important discovery. FTP, name this son of Amon who "did that which was right in the sight of the Lord and walked in all the way of David his father," the King of Judah during whose reign the Book of the Law, Moses' autograph copy of the Pentateuch, was rediscovered in the Temple.
