1
And the king
sent
,
and they gathered
unto him
all
the elders
of Judah
and of Jerusalem
.
2
And the king
went up
into the house
of the LORD
,
and
all
the men
of Judah
and
all
the inhabitants
of Jerusalem
with him, and the priests,
and the prophets
,
and
all
the people
,
both sm
all
and great
:
and he read
in their ears
all
the words
of the book
of the covenant
which was found
in the house
of the LORD
.
3
And the king
stood
by a pillar
,
and made
a covenant
before
the LORD
,
to walk
after
the LORD
,
and to keep
his commandments
and his testimonies
and his statutes
with
all
their
heart
and
all
their
soul
,
to perform
the words
of this
covenant
that were written
in this book
.
And
all
the people
stood
to the covenant
.
4
And the king
commanded
Hilkiah
the high
priest
,
and the
priest
s
of the second order
,
and the keepers
of the door,
to bring forth
out of the temple
of the LORD
all
the vessels
that were made
for Baal
,
and for the grove
,
and for
all
the host
of heaven
:
and he burned
them without
Jerusalem
in the fields
of Kidron
,
and carried
the ashes
of them unto Bethel
.
5
And he put down
the idolatrous priests
,
whom
the kings
of Judah
had ordained
to burn incense
in the high places
in the cities
of Judah
,
and in the places round about
Jerusalem
;
them also that burned incense
unto Baal
,
to the sun
,
and to the moon
,
and to the planets
,
and to
all
the host
of heaven
.
6
And he brought out
the grove
from the house
of the LORD
, without
Jerusalem
,
unto the brook
Kidron
,
and burned
it at the brook
Kidron
,
and stamped
it
small
to powder
,
and cast
the powder
thereof upon the graves
of the children
of the people
.
7
And he brake down
the houses
of the sodomites
,
that
were
by the house
of the LORD
,
where the women
wove
hangings
for the grove
.
8
And he brought
all
the priests
out of the cities
of Judah
,
and defiled
the high places
where the priests
had burned incense
,
from Geba
to Beersheba
,
and brake down
the high places
of the gate
s
that
were
in the entering in
of the gate
of Joshua
the governor
of the city
,
which
were
on a man's
left hand
at the gate
of the city
.
9
Nevertheless
the priests
of the high places
came not up
to the altar
of the LORD
in Jerusalem
,
but they did eat
of the unleavened bread
among
their brethren
.
10
And he defiled
Topheth
,
which
is
in the valley
of the children
of Hin
no
m
,
that
no
man
might make his son
or his daughter
to pass through
the fire
to Molech
.
11
And he took away
the horses
that the kings
of Judah
had given
to the sun
,
at the entering in
of the house
of the LORD
,
by the chamber
of Nathanmelech
the chamberlain
,
which
was
in the suburbs
,
and burned
the chariots
of the sun
with fire
.
12
And the altars
that
were
on the top
of the upper chamber
of Ahaz
,
which
the kings
of Judah
had made
,
and the altars
which
Manasseh
had made
in the two
courts
of the house
of the LORD
,
did the king
beat down
,
and brake
them
down
from thence, and cast
the dust
of them into the brook
Kidron
.
13
And the high places
that
were
before
Jerusalem
,
which
were
on the right hand
of the mount
of corruption
,
which
Solomon
the king
of Israel
had builded
for Ashtoreth
the abomination
of the Zidonians
,
and for Chemosh
the abomination
of the Moabites
,
and for Milcom
the abomination
of the children
of Ammon
,
did
the king
defile
.
14
And he brake in pieces
the images
,
and cut down
the groves
,
and filled
their places
with the bones
of men
.
15
Moreover the altar
that
was
at Bethel
,
and
the high place
which
Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat
,
who
made Israel
to sin
,
had made
,
both that altar
and
the high place
he brake down
,
and burned
the high place
,
and
stamped
it
small to powder
,
and burned
the grove
.
16
And as Josiah
turned
himself, he spied
the sepulchres
that
were
there in the mount
,
and sent
,
and took
the bones
out of
the sepulchres
,
and burned
them
upon the altar
,
and polluted
it, according to the word
of the LORD
which
the man
of God
proclaimed
,
who
proclaimed
these
words
.
17
Then he said
,
What
title
is
that
that I see
? And the men
of the city
told
him,
It is
the sepulchre
of the man
of God
,
which
came
from Judah
,
and proclaimed
these
things
that thou hast done
against
the altar
of Bethel
.
18
And he said
, Let him
alone
;
let
no
man
move
his bones
.
So they let
his bones
alone
,
with the bones
of the prophet
that came out
of Samaria
.
19
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
.
20
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
.
21
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
.
22
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
;
23
But in the eighteenth
year
of king
Josiah
,
wherein
this
passover
was holden
to the LORD
in Jerusalem
.
24
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
.
25
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.
26
Notwithstanding the LORD
turned
not from the fierceness
of his great
wrath
,
wherewith his anger
was kindled
against Judah
,
because
of all
the provocations
that Manasseh
had provoked
him withal.
27
And the LORD
said
,
I will remove
Judah
also
out of my sight
,
as I have removed
Israel
,
and will cast off
this city
Jerusalem
which
I have chosen
,
and the house
of
which
I
said
,
My name
shall be there.
28
Now the rest
of the acts
of Josiah
,
and all
that he did
,
are
they not written
in the book
of the chronicles
of the kings
of
Judah
?
29
In his days
Pharaohnechoh
king
of Egypt
went
up
against the
king
of Assyria
to the river
Euphrates
:
and
king
Josiah
went
against him; and he slew
him at Megiddo
,
when he had seen
him.
30
And his servants
carried him in a chariot
dead
from Megiddo
,
and brought
him to Jerusalem
,
and buried
him in his own sepulchre
.
And the people
of the land
took
Jehoahaz
the son
of Josiah
,
and anointed
him, and made him king
in his father's
stead.
31
Jehoahaz
was
twenty
and three
years
old
when he began to reign
;
and he reigned
three
months
in Jerusalem
.
And his mother's
name
was
Hamutal
,
the daughter
of Jeremiah
of Libnah
.
32
And he did
that which was
evil
in the sight
of the LORD
,
according
to all
that his fathers
had done
.
33
And Pharaohnechoh
put him in bands
at Riblah
in
the land
of Hamath
, that he might not reign
in Jerusalem
;
and put
the land
to a tribute
of an hundred
talents
of silver
,
and a talent
of gold
.
34
And Pharaohnechoh
made Eliakim
the son
of Josiah
king
in the room
of Josiah
his father
,
and turned
his name
to Jehoiakim
, and took
Jehoahaz
away
:
and he came
to Egypt
,
and died
there
.
35
And Jehoiakim
gave
the silver
and the gold
to Pharaoh
;
but he taxed
the land
to give
the money
according to the commandment
of Pharaoh
:
he exacted
the silver
and the gold
of the people
of
the land
,
of every one
according to his taxation
,
to give
it
unto Pharaohnechoh
.
36

according
to all
that his fathers
had done
