2 Kings 23:24-27
New International Version
24 Furthermore, Josiah got rid of the mediums and spiritists,(A) the household gods,(B) the idols and all the other detestable(C) things seen in Judah and Jerusalem. This he did to fulfill the requirements of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had discovered in the temple of the Lord. 25 Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned(D) 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.(E)
26 Nevertheless, the Lord did not turn away from the heat of his fierce anger,(F) which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh(G) had done to arouse his anger. 27 So the Lord said, “I will remove(H) Judah also from my presence(I) as I removed Israel, and I will reject(J) Jerusalem, the city I chose, and this temple, about which I said, ‘My Name shall be there.’[a]”

Further Zeal for the Lord
24 In addition, Josiah eradicated the mediums, the spiritists,(A) household idols,(B) images, and all the abhorrent things(C) that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. He did this in order to carry out the words of the law that were written in the book that the priest Hilkiah found in the Lord’s temple.(D) 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 strength(E) according to all the law of Moses, and no one like him arose after him.(F)
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)
