King Josiah was inspired to reform the worship of God in Judah by the contents of the book of the law. This was discovered by the high priest Hilkiah during the restoration work of the temple. The book was brought to the attention of the king's secretary Shaphan who read it to King Josiah. Upon hearing the words of the book, the king was moved to repentance and commanded that the people of Judah follow the laws and commandments of the book. He initiated a series of reforms, removing all the idols and altars dedicated to false gods and restoring the temple of Yahweh. The contents of the book of the law had a profound impact on King Josiah and his reforms, leading the people of Judah back to the worship of the one true God.
