Footnotes

  1. 51 Heb “and like him there was not a king before him who returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his being according to all the law of Moses, and after him none arose like him.” The description of Josiah’s devotion as involving his whole “heart, soul, and being” echoes the language of Deut 6:5.
