And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 23 of 2 Kings. Josiah orders the celebration of Passover according to what is written in the Book of the Law. The celebration is extraordinary because the narrator presents it as an especially significant Passover since ancient times. Josiah’s general faithfulness is then summarized, followed by his death in battle against Pharaoh Neco. The king’s death demonstrates that even a reforming monarch remains subject to human frailty and the complexity of international politics. His reform was profound, but it could not ultimately stop the judgment that had been announced.

Seinesgleichen war vor ihm kein König gewesen, der so von ganzem Herzen, von ganzer Seele, von allen Kräften sich zum HERRN bekehrte nach allem Gesetz Mose's; und nach ihm kam seinesgleichen nicht auf.
No hubo tal rey antes de él que se convirtiese a Jehová de todo su corazón, y de toda su alma, y de todas su fuerzas, conforme a toda la ley de Moisés; ni después de él nació otro tal.
Antes de él no hubo un rey como él, que se volviera a Jehová con todo su corazón, con toda su alma y con todas sus fuerzas, conforme a toda la ley de Moisés. Tampoco después de él se levantó otro como él.
Avant Josias, il n'y eut point de roi qui, comme lui, revînt à l'Eternel de tout son coeur, de toute son âme et de toute sa force, selon toute la loi de Moïse; et après lui, il n'en a point paru de semblable.
E davanti a lui non vi era stato re alcuno pari a lui, che si fosse convertito al Signore con tutto il suo cuore, e con tutta l’anima sua, e con tutto il suo maggior potere, secondo tutta la Legge di Mosè; e dopo lui non n’è surto alcuno pari.
E antes dele não houve rei semelhante, que se convertesse ao SENHOR com todo o seu coração, com toda a sua alma e com todas as suas forças, conforme toda a lei de Moisés; e depois dele nunca se levantou outro tal.
在 約西亞 以前,沒有王像他盡心、盡性、盡力地歸向耶和華,遵行 摩西 的一切律法;在他以後,也沒有興起一個王像他。
