- Why were the kings in our story considered good? Read Ps. 25:8-12
- Josiah became king at eight years old and followed God's ways. What does this tell us about who can follow God and His ways? Read 1 Tim. 4:12
- Why do you think the people returned to their sinful ways after each good king died? Read Ezek. 11:19
