2 Kings 23:24–28

²⁴Moreover, ^athe mediums and the spiritists and the ^bteraphim and ^cthe idols and all the detestable things that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah purged in order ^dthat he might ¹establish the words of the law which were written ^ein the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of Yahweh.

²⁵And before him there was no king ^alike him who turned to Yahweh with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; nor did any like him arise after him.

²⁶However, Yahweh did not turn from His great burning anger, His anger which burned against Judah, ^abecause of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him to anger.

²⁷And Yahweh said, “I will remove Judah also from My presence, ^aas I have removed Israel. And ^bI will reject Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the ¹house of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’”
