3 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.
3 Kwa kuwa katika mwaka wa nane wa kutawala kwake, naye akali mchanga, alianza kumtafuta Mungu wa Daudi babaye; hata katika mwaka wa kumi na mbili akaanza kusafisha Yuda na Yerusalemu kwa kuondoa mahali pa juu, na kwa kuondoa maashera, na sanamu za kuchora, nazo za kusubu.
