2 Kings 23:25-27

Good News Translation

²⁵ There had never been a king like him before, who served the Lord with all his heart, mind, and strength, obeying all the Law of Moses; nor has there been a king like him since.

²⁶ But the Lord's fierce anger had been aroused against Judah by what King Manasseh had done, and even now it did not die down. ²⁷ The Lord said, “I will do to Judah what I have done to Israel: I will banish the people of Judah from my sight, and I will reject Jerusalem, the city I chose, and the Temple, the place I said was where I should be worshiped.”
