2 Kings 23:24-26

Expanded Bible

²⁴ Josiah ·destroyed [removed; got rid of] the mediums, ·fortune-tellers [spiritualists], house gods, and idols. He also ·destroyed [removed; got rid of] all the ·hated gods [detestable/abominable practices] seen in the land of Judah and Jerusalem. This was to ·obey [fulfill; confirm] the words of the ·teachings [law; ^Ltorah] written in the ·book [scroll] Hilkiah the priest had found in the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord.

²⁵ There was no king like Josiah before or after him. He ·obeyed [^Lturned to] the Lord with all his heart, soul, and strength [cf. Mark 12:30, 33; Luke 10:27], following all the ·Teachings [Law; ^Ltorah] of Moses.

²⁶ Even so, the Lord did not ·stop [^Lturn from] ·his strong and terrible [^Lthe heat of his great] anger. His anger burned against Judah because of all Manasseh had done to ·make him angry [provoke/arouse him to anger].
