In the towns of Manasseh, Ephraim and Simeon, as far as Naphtali, and in the ruins around them,

Josiah went to the towns of Manasseh, Ephraim and Simeon. He went all the way to Naphtali. He also went to the destroyed places around all those towns.

And in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, and as far as Naphtali, in their ruins all around,

He did the same thing in the towns of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, even as far as Naphtali, and in the regions all around them.

當一切都辦妥後，所有在場的以色列人就前往猶大各城邑，打碎神柱，砍倒亞舍拉神像，又拆毀猶大、便雅憫、以法蓮、瑪拿西境內所有的邱壇和祭壇，然後各自返回自己的城邑和家園。

以色列人都要到非利士的鐵匠那裡去磨鋤、犁、斧和鏟。磨鋤或犁要花八克銀子，磨三齒叉、斧頭或趕畜棒要花四克銀子。

信差將這通告逐城傳遍以法蓮和瑪拿西，直到西布倫，可是那些地方的人卻嘲笑、戲弄他們。然而，有些亞設人、瑪拿西人和西布倫人謙卑悔改，來到耶路撒冷。

他拆掉伯特利高崗上的祭壇，即尼八的兒子耶羅波安誘使以色列人犯罪時建造的祭壇，把祭壇燒毀，搗碎成灰，又焚燒亞舍拉神像。約西亞轉身看見山上的墳墓，就派人取出墓中的屍骨，放在那祭壇上焚燒，污瀆了那祭壇，應驗了耶和華藉祂的僕人所說的預言。約西亞問：「我看到的那墓碑是誰的？」那城裡的人告訴他：「是上帝僕人的，他曾從猶大來預言你對伯特利祭壇所做的這些事。」他說：「不要動他，不要動他的屍骨。」於是，他們沒有動那位先知和撒瑪利亞來的先知的屍骨。他拆毀以色列各王從前建在撒瑪利亞各城高崗上、惹耶和華發怒的邱壇，就像他在伯特利所做的一樣。他在祭壇上殺死那些邱壇的祭司，又在壇上焚燒死人骨頭。之後，他返回耶路撒冷。

作偽證陷害鄰舍的人，無異於大錘、刀和利箭。

希西迦派人通告以色列和猶大全境，又寫信通知以法蓮人和瑪拿西人，叫他們到耶路撒冷耶和華的殿，向以色列的上帝耶和華守逾越節。

你因懼怕荊棘和蒺藜，將不再去從前用鋤頭開墾的山地，那裡將成為牧放牛羊的地方。」
