The moment
2 Kings tells how a scroll of the law was found in the Temple during repairs, and how King Josiah, after consulting the prophet Huldah, closed the shrines outside Jerusalem, tore down the altar at Bethel and held a Passover in the capital. Most scholars identify the scroll with an early form of Deuteronomy, which demands a single place of sacrifice; how much of the account is history and how much later writing is debated.
People: Josiah, Huldah, Hilkiah
