2 Kings 23:24

23:24 Josiah also got rid of ²  the ritual pits used to conjure up spirits, ³  the magicians, personal idols, disgusting images, ⁴  and all the detestable idols that had appeared in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. In this way he carried out the terms of the law ⁵  recorded on the scroll that Hilkiah the priest had discovered in the Lord’s temple.

[19:27]  ¹ tc Heb “your going out and your coming in.” The MT also has here, “and how you have raged against me.” However, this line is probably dittographic (note the beginning of the next line).

[23:24]  ² tn Here בִּעֵר (bi’er) is not the well attested verb “burn,” but the less common homonym meaning “devastate, sweep away, remove.” See HALOT 146 s.v. בער.

[23:24]  ³ sn See the note at 2 Kgs 21:6.

[23:24]  ⁴ sn See the note at 1 Kgs 15:12.

[23:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “carrying out the words of the law.”
