Josiah or Yoshiyahu ( or ;〔(Josiah definition ) - Bible Dictionary - Dictionary.com. Retrieved 25 July 2011.〕〔 entry "Josiah" 〕 , literally meaning "healed by Yah" or "supported of Yah"; (ラテン語:Josias); c. 649–609 BCE) was a king of Judah (641–609 BCE), according to the Hebrew Bible, who instituted major reforms. Josiah is credited by most historians with having established or compiled important Hebrew Scriptures during the Deuteronomic reform that occurred during his rule. Josiah became king of Judah at the age of eight, after the assassination of his father, King Amon, and reigned for thirty-one years, from 641/640 to 610/609 BCE.〔Edwin Thiele, ''The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings'', (1st ed.; New York: Macmillan, 1951; 2d ed.; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1965; 3rd ed.; Grand Rapids: Zondervan/Kregel, 1983). ISBN 0-8254-3825-X, 9780825438257, 217.〕 He is also one of the kings mentioned in one of the two divergent genealogies of Jesus in the New Testament. ==Family== Josiah is only known through biblical texts. No reference to him exists in surviving texts of the period from Egypt or Babylon, and no clear archaeological evidence, such as inscriptions bearing his name, has been found. According to the Bible, Josiah was the son of King Amon and Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.〔("Josiah", ''Jewish Encyclopedia'' )〕 His grandfather Manasseh was one of the kings blamed for turning away from the worship of Yahweh. Manasseh adapted the Temple for idolatrous worship. Josiah's great-grandfather was King Hezekiah who was a noted reformer. Josiah had four sons: Johanan, and Eliakim (born c. 634 BCE) by Zebudah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah; (Eliakim had his name changed by Pharaoh Necho of Egypt to Jehoiakim (2 Kings 23:34 )) and Mattanyahu (c. 618 BCE) and Shallum (633/632 BCE) both by Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.〔, , , 〕 Shallum succeeded Josiah as king of Judah, under the name Jehoahaz.〔, 〕 Shallum was succeeded by Eliakim, under the name Jehoiakim, who was succeeded by his own son Jeconiah; then Jeconiah was succeeded to the throne by Mattanyahu, under the name Zedekiah. Zedekiah was the last king of Judah before the kingdom was conquered by Babylon and the people exiled. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Josiah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
