EPISODE SUMMARY

EPISODE NOTES
In today's episode, I'll be discussing the story of King Josiah.
Does this name ring a bell? No? That's natural! Sometimes, even the most avid Bible readers don't know much about him.
This is because when one thinks of Israelities kings, only a few names come to mind: Solomon, Saul, or David. And if you're fancy, maybe you'll even think of Hezekiah or Ahab. But never Josiah.
King Josiah lives in obscurity, but that doesn't mean he's less than extraordinary. In fact, Josiah is acclaimed in the Bible as Israel's greatest king.
So, if he's so great, how come most don't know much about him? And what is his story?
I answer these questions and more in today's episode of The Bible You Thought You Know, so tune in now!
