18 Y él dijo: Dejadlo; ninguno mueva sus huesos: y así fueron preservados sus huesos, y los huesos del profeta que había venido de Samaria.

19 Y todas las casas de los altos que estaban en las ciudades de Samaria, las cuales habían hecho los reyes de Israel para provocar á ira, quitólas también Josías, é hizo de ellas como había hecho en Beth-el.

20 Mató además sobre los altares á todos los sacerdotes de los altos que allí estaban, y quemó sobre ellos huesos de hombres, y volvióse á Jerusalem.

21 Entonces mandó el rey á todo el pueblo, diciendo: Haced la pascua á Jehová vuestro Dios, conforme á lo que está escrito en el libro de esta alianza.

22 No fué hecha tal pascua desde los tiempos de los jueces que gobernaron á Israel, ni en todos los tiempos de los reyes de Israel, y de los reyes de Judá.
