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]”

International Standard Version
24 Furthermore, Josiah removed the mediums, the necromancers, the household gods,[a] the idols, and every despicable thing that could be seen in the territory of Judah and in Jerusalem, so that he might confirm the words of the Law that had been written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had discovered in the Lord’s Temple. 25 There had been no king like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his strength, in obeying everything in the Law of Moses. No king arose like Josiah after him.
26 Even so, the Lord did not turn away from his fierce and great anger that burned against Judah because of everything with which Manasseh had provoked him. 27 The Lord said, “I’m going to remove Judah from my sight as well, just as I’ve removed Israel. I will abandon Jerusalem, this city that I’ve chosen, as well as the Temple, about which I’ve spoken, ‘My Name shall remain there.’”
