[kjv] and as josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the lord which the man of god proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
[bbe] then josiah, turning round, saw on the mountain the places of the dead, and he sent and had the bones taken out of their places and burned on the altar, so making it unclean, as the lord had said by the man of god when jeroboam was in his place by the altar on that feast-day. and he, turning his eyes to the resting-place of the man of god who had given word of these things, said:
23:17 [hgb] 约 西 亚 问 说 ， 我 所 看 见 的 是 什 么 碑 。 那 城 里 的 人 回 答 说 ， 先 前 有 神 人 从 犹 大 来 ， 预 先 说 王 现 在 向 伯 特 利 坛 所 行 的 事 ， 这 就 是 他 的 墓 碑 。

[bbe] what is that headstone i see over there? and the men of the town said to him, it is the resting-place of the man of god who came from judah and gave word of all these things which you have done to the altar of beth-el.
23:18 [hgb] 约 西 亚 说 ， 由 他 吧 。 不 要 挪 移 他 的 骸 骨 。 他 们 就 不 动 他 的 骸 骨 ， 也 不 动 从 撒 玛 利 亚 来 那 先 知 的 骸 骨 。
[kjv] and he said, let him alone; let no man move his bones. so they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of samaria.
[bbe] so he said, let him be; let not his bones be moved. so they let his bones be with the bones of the prophet who came from samaria.
23:19 [hgb] 从 前 以 色 列 诸 王 在 撒 玛 利 亚 的 城 邑 建 筑 丘 坛 的 殿 ， 惹 动 耶 和 华 的 怒 气 ， 现 在 约 西 亚 都 废 去 了 ， 就 如 他 在 伯 特 利 所 行 的 一 般 。
[kjv] and all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of samaria, which the kings of israel had made to provoke the lord to anger, josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in bethel.
[bbe] then josiah took away all the houses of the high places in the towns of samaria, which the kings of israel had put up, moving the lord to wrath, and he did with them as he had done in beth-el.
23:20 [hgb] 又 将 丘 坛 的 祭 司 都 杀 在 坛 上 ， 并 在 坛 上 烧 人 的 骨 头 ， 就 回 耶 路 撒 冷 去 了 。
[kjv] and he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them, and returned to jerusalem.
[bbe] and all the priests of the high places there he put to death on the altars, burning the bones of the dead on them; and then he went back to jerusalem.
23:21 [hgb] 王 吩 咐 众 民 说 ， 你 们 当 照 这 约 书 上 所 写 的 ， 向 耶 和 华 你 们 的 神 守 逾 越 节 。
[kjv] and the king commanded all the people, saying, keep the passover unto the lord your god, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
[bbe] and the king gave orders to all the people, saying, keep the passover to the lord your god, as it says in this book of the law.

[bbe] truly, such a passover had not been kept in all the days of the judges of israel or of the kings of israel or the kings of judah;
23:23 [hgb] 只 有 约 西 亚 王 十 八 年 在 耶 路 撒 冷 向 耶 和 华 守 这 逾 越 节 。

[kjv] moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of judah and in jerusalem, did josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that hilkiah the priest found in the house of the lord.

23:26 [hgb] 然 而 ， 耶 和 华 向 犹 大 所 发 猛 烈 的 怒 气 仍 不 止 息 ， 是 因 玛 拿 西 诸 事 惹 动 他 。
[kjv] notwithstanding the lord turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against judah, because of all the provocations that manasseh had provoked him withal.
[bbe] but still the heat of the lord's wrath was not turned back from judah, because of all manasseh had done in moving him to wrath.

[kjv] and the lord said, i will remove judah also out of my sight, as i have removed israel, and will cast off this city jerusalem which i have chosen, and the house of which i said, my name shall be there.
[bbe] and the lord said, i will send judah away from before my face, as i have sent israel; i will have nothing more to do with this town, which i had made mine, even jerusalem, and the holy house of which i said, my name will be there.
