2 Kings 23:24-27
24Josiah 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.
25No 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.
26Yet the Lord’s great anger against Judah did not subside; he was still infuriated by all the things Manasseh had done.
27The 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.”
