23. But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah’s reign, such a Passover of the Lord was observed in Jerusalem.
24. Josiah also got rid of the ritual pits used to conjure up spirits, the magicians, personal idols, disgusting images, and all the detestable idols that had appeared in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. In this way he carried out the terms of the law recorded on the scroll that Hilkiah the priest had discovered in the Lord’s temple.
25. No king before or after repented before the Lord as he did, with his whole heart, soul, and being in accordance with the whole law of Moses.
26. Yet the Lord’s great anger against Judah did not subside; he was still infuriated by all the things Manasseh had done.
