2 Kings 23:22-24

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²² No such Passover had ever been kept from the time of the judges who judged Israel through the entire time of the kings of Israel and Judah. ²³ But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was observed to the Lord in Jerusalem.^(A)

Further Zeal for the Lord

²⁴ In addition, Josiah removed the mediums, the spiritists,^(B) household idols,^(C) images, and all the detestable things^(D) 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 Hilkiah the priest found in the Lord’s temple.^(E)
