What two kings of Judah receive a clean record from the Deuteronomic historian? Why is this?
The kings in the south did not fare much better. Ten kings “flunk” because they did “what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.” Six receive “passing marks.” Only two are given “A’s.” Hezekiah and Josiah receive A’s because they instituted far-reaching religious reforms.
