In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah{gr.Josias} this passover was kept, after all these things that Josiah{gr.Josias} did in the house. And king Josiah{gr.Josias} burnt those who had in them a divining spirit, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and the sodomites which were in the land of Judah{gr.Juda} and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law that were written in the book which Hilkiah{gr.Chelcias} the priest found in the house of the Lord. There was no [king] like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, and all his soul, and all his strength, according to all the law of Mosheh{gr.Moses}, and after him there rose up none like him. Nevertheless the Lord turned not from the anger of his fierce wrath, wherewith the Lord was greatly angry against Judah{gr.Juda}, for all the provocations wherewith Manasseh{gr.Manasses} provoked him: and the Lord said, I will even remove Judah{gr.Juda} also from my presence, as I have removed Israel, and I have rejected the city which I chose, [even] Jerusalem, and thehouse of which I said, My name shall be there.
