²⁴ Furthermore, Josiah got rid of the mediums and spiritists,^(B) the household gods,^(C) the idols and all the other detestable^(D) things seen in Judah and Jerusalem. This he did to fulfill the requirements of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had discovered in the temple of the Lord. ²⁵ Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned^(E) to the Lord as he did—with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses.^(F)
