2 Kings 23:24-27
Legacy Standard Bible
24 Moreover, (A)the mediums and the spiritists and the (B)teraphim and (C)the idols and all the detestable things that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah purged in order (D)that he might [a]establish the words of the law which were written (E)in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of Yahweh. 25 And before him there was no king (F)like him who turned to Yahweh 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.

And (I)I will reject Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the [b]house of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’”

26 In spite of all that, the Lord did not turn from the fury of his intense burning anger, which burned against Judah because of all the affronts with which Manasseh had angered him.(G) 27 For the Lord had said, “I will also remove Judah from my presence just as I have removed Israel.(H) I will reject this city Jerusalem, that I have chosen, and the temple about which I said, ‘My name will be there.’”(I)
