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.
26 However, Yahweh did not turn from His great burning anger, His anger which burned against Judah, (G)because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him to anger. 27 And Yahweh said, “I will remove Judah also from My presence, (H)as I have removed Israel. 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.’”

Lexham English Bible
24 Moreover, the mediums and the spiritists, the household gods and the idols, and all of the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah removed in order to establish the words of the law written on the scroll that Hilkiah the priest had found in the temple of Yahweh. 25 There was not a king like him before him, who turned to Yahweh with all of his heart and with all of his soul and with all of his might according to the law[a] of Moses, nor did one arise like him afterwards.
26 However, Yahweh did not turn from the fierceness of his great anger which was kindled against Judah because of all of the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked him. 27 Yahweh had said, “Even Judah I will remove from my face, as I have removed Israel; I will reject this city that I have chosen, even Jerusalem and the house of which I said, ‘My name shall be there’!”
