1 Kings 13:2
And he cried against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon thee. (1 Kings 13:2)
Josiah by name.
 The Lord does not often predict the future with such definite detail as to point out the specific actors. A parallel example is found in the reference to Cyrus, the Persian king, by name many years before his birth (Isa. 44:28; 45:1). This prophecy concerning Josiah was literally fulfilled (2 Kings 23:15, 16).
