Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the Lord as he did—with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses. 2 Kings 23:16
Never before or after---a king like him---yet his own son, Jehoahaz, could not be influenced. I remember telling words about a decade ago spoken to me in angst. "We will see who was right by the size of your ministry." I didn't believe it then. I don't believe it now. Josiah's own son couldn't be swayed by the strongest of kings. We will all individually give account to God for our lives not for how our sons and daughters and followers turn out.
