Usage: Joshijah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of a king of Judah, known for his religious reforms and efforts to restore the worship of Yahweh. Context: Joshijah, often referred to as Josiah in English translations, was the son of Amon and the grandson of Manasseh. He became king of Judah at the young age of eight after the assassination of his father. His reign is noted for significant religious reforms, including the repair of the Temple in Jerusalem and the discovery of the Book of the Law, which led to a national covenant renewal.

His reign is considered a high point in the history of Judah, marked by a return to the covenantal faithfulness of the people. Josiah's death occurred in battle at Megiddo, where he was mortally wounded by Pharaoh Necho II of Egypt. His story is primarily found in 2 Kings 22-23 and 2 Chronicles 34-35.
