2 Kings 23:24–28

²⁴Moreover, Josiah ¹removed ^athe mediums and the spiritists and the ^bteraphim and ^cthe idols and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, ^dthat he might ²confirm the words of the law which were written ^ein the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord.

²⁵Before him there was no king ^alike him who turned to the Lord 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, the Lord did not turn from the fierceness of His great wrath with which His anger burned against Judah, ^abecause of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him.

²⁷The Lord said, “I will remove Judah also from My sight, ^aas I have removed Israel. And ^bI will cast off Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the ¹temple of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’ ”

²⁸Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
