The book of the law was found in the house of the lord during the reign of King

The book of the law was found in the house of the lord during the reign of King Josiah. This happened when repairs were being made to the temple and the high priest found a book that contained God's laws. Josiah was a king of Judah who reigned from around 640 BC to 609 BC. He was known for his religious reforms and his efforts to bring the people of Judah back to the worship of Yahweh. When Josiah heard the words of the book of the law, he tore his clothes in repentance because he realized how much the people of Judah had strayed from God's laws. He then led a campaign to remove all the idols and altars of false gods and to reinstate the worship of Yahweh. This event is recorded in the Bible in 2 Kings 22-23 and 2 Chronicles 34-35.
