2 Kings 23:21-30 - Passover Renewed
21 The king gave orders to all the people. He said: Keep the Passover to Jehovah your God, as it says in this book of the law. 22 Truly, such a Passover had not been kept in all the days of the judges of Israel or of the kings of Israel or the kings of Judah. 23 In the eighteenth year of the rule of King Josiah this Passover was kept to Jehovah in Jerusalem. 24 Josiah removed all the spirit mediums, the foretellers, the images, and the false gods, and all the disgusting things seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. That way he could establish the words of the agreement recorded in the book Hilkiah the priest discovered in the Temple of Jehovah. 25 Never before had there been a king like him. He turned to Jehovah with all his heart and his entire mind and all his power. As the Law of Moses says: and after him there was no king like him.
26 Still the heat of Jehovah's anger was not turned back from Judah. This is because of all Manasseh had done in moving him to anger. 27 Jehovah said: I will send Judah away from before my face, as I have sent Israel. I will have nothing more to do with this town. It is Jerusalem my town. And the holy house of which I said: 'My name will be there.'
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and all he did are recorded in the book of the History of the Kings of Judah. 29 In his days, Pharaoh Necho, king of Egypt, sent his armies against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates. King Josiah went out against him. Josiah was killed when he saw him at Megiddo. 30 His servants took his body in a carriage from Megiddo to Jerusalem. They buried him there. The people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and put the holy oil on him and made him king in place of his father.
