*
And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria ,
which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger ,
Josiah took away ,
and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel .
*
And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars ,
and burned men '
s bones upon them ,
and returned to Jerusalem .
*
And the king commanded all the people ,
saying ,
Keep the passover unto the LORD your God ,
as it is written in the book of this covenant .
*
Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel ,
nor in all the days of the kings of Israel ,
nor of the kings of Judah ;
*
But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah ,
wherein this passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem .
*
Moreover the workers with familiar spirits ,
and the wizards ,
and the images ,
and the idols ,
and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem ,
did Josiah put away ,
that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD .
*
And like unto him was there no king before him ,
that turned to the LORD with all his heart ,
and with all his soul ,
and with all his might ,
according to all the law of Moses ;
neither after him arose there any like him .
