2 Kings 23:24-27
English Standard Version
24 Moreover, Josiah put away (A)the mediums and the necromancers and (B)the household gods and (C)the idols and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might establish (D)the words of the law that were written in the book (E)that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord. 25 (F)Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, nor did any like him arise after him.
26 Still the Lord did not turn from the burning of his great wrath, by which his anger was kindled against Judah, (G)because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked him. 27 And the Lord said, “I will remove Judah also out of my sight, (H)as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city that I have chosen, Jerusalem, (I)and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.”

Revised Standard Version
24 Moreover Josi′ah put away the mediums and the wizards and the teraphim and the idols and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might establish the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilki′ah the priest found in the house of the Lord. 25 Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; nor did any like him arise after him.
26 Still the Lord did not turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, by which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manas′seh had provoked him. 27 And the Lord said, “I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.”
