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.
23 But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah this Passover was held before the Lord in Jerusalem.
