17 Then he said, “What gravestone is this that I see?” So the men of the city told him, “It is athe tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things which you have done against the altar of Bethel.”
18 And he said, “Let him alone; let no one move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of athe prophet who came from Samaria.
19 Now Josiah also took away all the shrines of the2 high places that were ain the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke3 the Lord to anger; and he did to them according to all the deeds he had done in Bethel.
20 aHe bexecuted all the priests of the1 high places who were there, on the altars, and cburned men’s bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
21 Then the king commanded all the people, saying, a“Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, bas it is written in this Book of the Covenant.”
22 aSuch a Passover surely had never been held since the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah.
