The Repair of the Temple

This section describes how King Josiah ordered the repair of the temple after he had removed all the idols and false worship from the land. He wanted the temple to be clean and ready for true worship. Josiah showed his love for God by caring for God’s house. The people worked together faithfully and honestly, each using their different skills for the good of the temple and the nation. This teaches us that God gives everyone different gifts, and all are needed for His work.
