1 Esdras 1:22-24

Revised Standard Version

²² In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josi′ah this passover was kept. ²³ And the deeds of Josi′ah were upright in the sight of the Lord, for his heart was full of godliness. ²⁴ The events of his reign have been recorded in the past, concerning those who sinned and acted wickedly toward the Lord beyond any other people or kingdom, and how they grieved the Lord^[a] deeply, so that the words of the Lord rose up against Israel.
