Josiah renews the covenant
2 Chronicles 34:29-32
29The king sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 30The king went up to the house of YHWH, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests and the Levites and all the people, from great to small; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of YHWH. 31The king stood at his post and made the covenant before YHWH, to walk after YHWH and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant that are written in this book. 32He established in it all who were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin; and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of Elohim, the Elohim of their fathers.
1The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 2The king went up to the house of YHWH, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests and the prophets, and all the people, from the small to the great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of YHWH. 3The king stood by the pillar and made the covenant before YHWH, to walk after YHWH and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all the heart and with all the soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all the people took their stand in the covenant.
Jerusalem

A city in the hills of Judea, about 22 miles (35 km) west of the Dead Sea and 35 miles (55 km) east of the Mediterranean.
David took it and made it his city (2 Sam 5:7); Solomon built the temple there (1 Kgs 8:1). Jesus was presented there, and the apostles' witness began from it (Luke 2:22; Acts 1:8).
31The king stood at his post and made the covenant before YHWH, to walk after YHWH and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant that are written in this book.
