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.”

25 aNow before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses; nor after him did any arise like him.
