He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, imitating the detestable practices of the nations that the Lord had dispossessed before the Israelites.
He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, just as his father Manasseh had done.
He abandoned the Lord God of his ancestors and did not walk in the ways of the Lord.
The king tore down the altars that the kings of Judah had made on the roof of Ahaz’s upper chamber. He also tore down the altars that Manasseh had made in the two courtyards of the Lord’s temple. Then he smashed them there and threw their dust into the Kidron Valley.
In addition, Josiah eradicated the mediums, the spiritists, household idols, images, and all the abhorrent things that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. He did this in order to carry out the words of the law that were written in the book that the priest Hilkiah found in the Lord’s temple.
He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight just as his ancestors had done.
He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight just as his father had done.
