2 Kings 23:23-25
Easy-to-Read Version
23 They celebrated this Passover for the Lord in Jerusalem during Josiah’s 18th year as king.
24 Josiah destroyed the mediums, wizards, the house gods, the idols, and all the horrible things people worshiped in Judah and Jerusalem. He did this to obey the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the Lord’s Temple.
25 There had never been a king like Josiah before. Josiah turned to the Lord with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his strength.[a] No king had followed all the Law of Moses like Josiah. And there has never been another king like Josiah since that time.
