And [G2532] turning [G1994] [Josiah] lifted the [G3588] his eyes [G3788][G1473] upon [G1909] the [G3588] burying-place [G5028] of the [G3588] man of the [G3588] God '[G2316], the [G3588] [one] speaking [G2980] the [G3588] words [G3056] these [G3778];
17: and [G2532] he said [G2036], What [is [G5100] the [G3588] that high rock [G1565] which [G3739] I [G1473] see [G3708]? And [G2532] said [G2036] to him [G1473] the [G3588] men of the [G3588] city [G4172], the [G3588] grave [G5028] of the [G3588] man of the [G3588] God '[G2316], of the [G3588] [one] coming [G2064] from out of [G1537] the [G3588] Judah, and [G2532] calling [G1941] the [G3588] words [G3056] these [G3778] which [G3739] you did [G4160] against [G1909] the [G3588] altar [G2379] the [G3588] in [G1722] Beth-el.

21: And [G2532] gave charge [G1781] the [G3588] king to all [G3956] the [G3588] people [G2992], saying [G3004], Observe [G4160] the [G3588] passover [G3957] to the [G3588] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of you [G1473]! as [G2531] it is written [G1125] in [G1722] the [G3588] scroll of the [G3588] this covenant [G1242][G3778].
22: For [G3754] did not [G3756] take place [G1096] according to [G2596] the [G3588] this passover [G3957][G3778] from the [G3588] days [G2250] of the [G3588] judges [G2923] [that [G3739] judged [G2919] the [G3588] Israel, and [G2532] in [G1722] all [G3956] the [G3588] days [G2250] of kings of Israel, and [G2532] of kings of Judah,
23: for [G3754] only in [G1722] the [G3588] eighteenth year [G2094] of the [G3588] king Josiah took place [G1096] the [G3588] this passover [G3957][G3778] to the [G3588] Boss '[G2962] in [G1722] Jerusalem.
24: And [G2532] indeed [G1065] the [G3588] soothsayers , and [G2532] the [G3588] diviners [G1109], and [G2532] the [G3588] teraphim , and [G2532] the [G3588] idols [G1497], and [G2532] all [G3956] the [G3588] loathsome things the [G3588] taking place [G1096] in [G1722] the [G3588] land '[G1093] of Judah and [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588] Jerusalem, removed [G1808] the [G3588] king Josiah], that [G2443] should be established [G2476] the [G3588] words [G3056] of the [G3588] law [G3551], the [G3588] [ones] being written [G1125] upon [G1909] the [G3588] scroll which [G3739] found [G2147] Hilkiah the [G3588] priest [G2409] in [G1722] house [G3624] of Boss '[G2962].
25: likened [G3664] to him [G1473] There was no [G3756][G1096] king before [G1715] him [G1473], who [G3739] turned [G1994] towards [G4314] Boss '[G2962] with [G1722] entire [G3650] heart [G2588] of him '[G1473], and [G2532] with [G1722] entire [G3650] life [G5590] of him '[G1473], and [G2532] with [G1722] entire [G3650] the [G3588] strength [G2479] of him '[G1473], according to [G2596] all [G3956] the [G3588] law [G3551] of Moses. And [G2532] after [G3326] him [G1473] rose up not [G3756] [one] like [G3664] him [G1473].
26: Only [G4133] did not [G3756] turn Boss '[G2962] from rage [G2372] of the [G3588] his anger [G3709][G1473] the [G3588] great [G3173] of which [G3739] was enraged [G2373] anger [G3709] of him '[G1473] against [G1722] the [G3588] Judah, against [G1909] all [G3956] the [G3588] provocations to anger [G3950] which [G3739] provoked him to anger [G3949][G1473] Manasseh].
27: And [G2532] BOSS said [G2036][G2962], And [G2532] indeed [G1065] the [G3588] Judah I will remove from my face [G4383][G1473], as [G2531] I removed the [G3588] Israel, and [G2532] I will thrust away the [G3588] this city [G4172][G3778] which [G3739] I chose [G1586] the [G3588] Jerusalem, and [G2532] the [G3588] house [G3624] of which [G3739] I said [G2036], will be the [G3588] Name [G3686] of me [G1473] there [G1563].
28: And [G2532] the [G3588] rest [G3062] of the [G3588] words [G3056] of Josiah, and [G2532] all [G3956] as much as [G3745] he did [G4160], [are] these not [G3780][G3778] written [G1125] upon [G1909] scroll of words [G3056] of days [G2250] of the [G3588] kings of Judah?

And [G2532] went [G4198] Josiah the [G3588] king for [G1519] a meeting against him [G1473]. And [G2532] killed [G2289] him [G1473] Necho] in [G1722] Megiddo, in [G1722] the [G3588] his seeing [G1492][G1473] him [G1473].

And [G2532] took [G2983] the [G3588] people [G2992] of the [G3588] land '[G1093] the [G3588] Jehoahaz son [G5207] of Josiah, and [G2532] anointed [G5548] him [G1473] and [G2532] gave him reign [G1473] instead of the [G3588] his father [G3962][G1473].
