Background on Pseudo-Tertullian
In his own words on 2 Chronicles
- 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 Chronicles 34:1-5
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!
