2 Kings 23:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ In spite of that, the Lord didn’t turn away from his great anger against Judah. That’s because of everything Manasseh had done to make him very angry. ²⁷ So the Lord said, “I will remove Judah from my land. I will do to them what I did to Israel. I will turn my back on Jerusalem. It is the city I chose. I will also turn my back on this temple. I spoke about it. I said, ‘I will put my Name there.’ ” (1 Kings 8:29)

²⁸ The other events of the rule of Josiah are written down. Everything he did is written in the official records of the kings of Judah.
