who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that you
have done against the altar of Bethel.
023:018 He said, Let him be; let no man move his bones.
So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet
who came out of Samaria.
023:019 All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities
of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke
[Yahweh] to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according
to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
023:020 He killed all the priests of the high places that were there,
on the altars, and burned men's bones on them;
and he returned to Jerusalem.
023:021 The king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the Passover
to Yahweh your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.
023:022 Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of
the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings
of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
023:023 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this Passover
kept to Yahweh in Jerusalem.
023:024 Moreover those who had familiar spirits, and the wizards,
and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations
that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem,

023:026 Notwithstanding, Yahweh didn't turn from the fierceness of his
great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah,
because of all the provocation with which Manasseh
had provoked him.
023:027 Yahweh 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, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said,
My name shall be there.
023:028 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did,
aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the
kings of Judah?
023:029 In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king
of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went
against him; and [Pharaoh Necoh] killed him at Megiddo,
when he had seen him.
023:030 His servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo,
and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb.
The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah,
and anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.
