Other Scriptures speak out this to be a truth, 1besides what you have in the Text to confirm it, as that of the second of Chronicles Chap. 34.1, 2, 3. verses.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand nor to the left; for in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year, he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Groves, and the carved Images, and the molten Images.
