2 Kings 23 — Context

23

But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah’s reign, such a Passover of the LORD was observed in Jerusalem.

24

Josiah also got rid of the ritual pits used to conjure up spirits, the magicians, personal idols, disgusting images, and all the detestable idols that had appeared in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. In this way he carried out the terms of the law recorded on the scroll that Hilkiah the priest had discovered in the LORD’s temple.

25

No king before or after repented before the LORD as he did, with his whole heart, soul, and being in accordance with the whole law of Moses.

26

Yet the LORD’s great anger against Judah did not subside; he was still infuriated by all the things Manasseh had done.

27

The LORD announced,“I will also spurn Judah, just as I spurned Israel. I will reject this city that I chose– both Jerusalem and the temple, about which I said,“I will live there.”

28

The rest of the events of Josiah’s reign and all his accomplishments are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Judah.

29

During Josiah’s reign Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt marched toward the Euphrates River to help the king of Assyria. King Josiah marched out to fight him, but Necho killed him at Megiddo when he saw him.
