2 Kings 23:22-24

Contemporary English Version

²² This festival had not been celebrated in this way since the time that tribal leaders ruled Israel or the kings ruled Israel and Judah. ²³ But in Josiah's eighteenth year as king of Judah, everyone came to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover.

The Lord Is Still Angry with the People of Judah

²⁴ Josiah got rid of every disgusting person and thing in Judah and Jerusalem—including magicians, fortunetellers, and idols. He did his best to obey every law written in the book that the priest Hilkiah found in the Lord's temple.
