2 Kings 23:25-27
Living Bible
25 There was no other king who so completely turned to the Lord and followed all the laws of Moses; and no king since the time of Josiah has approached his record of obedience.
26 But the Lord still did not hold back his great anger against Judah, caused by the evils of King Manasseh. 27 For the Lord had said, “I will destroy Judah just as I have destroyed Israel; and I will discard my chosen city of Jerusalem and the Temple that I said was mine.”

2 Kings 23:25-27
New International Version
25 Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned(A) 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.(B)
26 Nevertheless, the Lord did not turn away from the heat of his fierce anger,(C) which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh(D) had done to arouse his anger. 27 So the Lord said, “I will remove(E) Judah also from my presence(F) as I removed Israel, and I will reject(G) Jerusalem, the city I chose, and this temple, about which I said, ‘My Name shall be there.’[a]”
