2 Kings 23:21-27
21Then the kingH4428 commandedH6680 allH3605 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “1CelebrateH6213 the PassoverH6453 to the LordH3068 your GodH430 2as it is writtenH3789 in thisH2088 BookH5612 of the CovenantH1285.” 223TrulyH3588 suchH2088 a PassoverH6453 had not been celebratedH6213 sinceH4480 the daysH3117 of the judgesH8199 whoH834 judgedH8199 IsraelH3478, norH3808 in allH3605 the daysH3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 and the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063. 23But in the eighteenthH8083H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 JosiahH2977, thisH2088 PassoverH6453 was celebratedH6213 to the LordH3068 in JerusalemH3389.
24MoreoverH1571, JosiahH2977 removedH1197 4the mediumsH178, the spiritistsH3049, the 56householdH8655 idolsH8655, 7the idolsH1544, and allH3605 the abominationsH8251 that were seenH7200 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in JerusalemH3389, 8soH4616 thatH4616 he might 9fulfillH6965 the wordsH1697 of the LawH8451 which were writtenH3789 10in the bookH5612 that HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 25BeforeH6440 him there was noH3808 kingH4428 11likeH3644 him whoH834 turnedH7725 to the LordH3068 with allH3605 his heartH3824, allH3605 his soulH5315, and allH3605 his mightH3966, in conformity to allH3605 the LawH8451 of MosesH4872; norH3808 did any likeH3644 him ariseH6965 afterH310 him.
26NeverthelessH389, the LordH3068 did not turnH7725 from the fiercenessH2740 of His greatH1419 wrathH639 with whichH834 His angerH639 burnedH2734 against JudahH3063, 12becauseH5921 of allH3605 the provocationsH3708 with whichH834 ManassehH4519 had provokedH3707 Him. 27And the LordH3068 saidH559, “I will alsoH1571 removeH5493 JudahH3063 from My sightH6440, 13justH3512 asH3512 I have removedH5493 IsraelH3478. And 14I will rejectH3988 thisH2088 cityH5892 whichH834 I have chosenH977, JerusalemH3389, and the 15templeH1004 of whichH834 I saidH559, ‘My nameH8034 shall be thereH8033!’”
