  1. 2 Chronicles 30:1
    As corrector of an inert People
    That emulator [of David] Hezekiah arose;
    He restored the Law to a sinful, forgetful people
    All God’s mandates of old, he first
    Commanded the people to observe,
    Who ended war by his prayers,
    Not by steel’s point: he, dying, had a grant
    Of years and times of life made to his tears:
    Deservedly such honor his career obtained.

  2. 2 Chronicles 34:1-8
    With zeal immense, Josiah,
    Himself a prince, acted in such a way
    As no one before or after him had ever done!—Idols he
    Dethroned; destroyed unhallowed temples; burned
    With fire priests on their altars; all the bones
    Of false prophets were dug up; the altars burned,
    The carcasses to be consumed did serve
    For fuel!

  3. Matthew 22:23-32
    For of Judaism’s heretics I am silent - Dositheus the Samaritan, I mean, who was the first who had the hardihood to repudiate the prophets, on the ground that they had not spoken under inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Of the Sadducees I am silent, who, springing from the root of this error, had the hardihood to adjoin to this heresy the denial likewise of the resurrection of the flesh.
