2 Chronicles 34:33

And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel ,.... All their idols, as related in 2 Kings 23:4 , &c.;

and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the Lord their God ; by his edicts, and by his example:

and all his days they departed not from following the Lord God of their fathers ; not publicly and universally; otherwise there were great declensions and corruptions among them, as the prophecies of Jeremiah and Zephaniah show.
