1 Esdras 1:22

²⁰And such a Passover was not kept in Israel since the time of the prophet Samuel.

²¹Yea, all the kings of Israel held not such a Passover as Josiah, and the priests, and the Levites, and the Jews, held with all Israel that were found dwelling at Jerusalem.

— 1 Esdras 1:22 —

²³And the works of Josiah were upright before his Lord with a heart full of godliness.

²⁴As for the things that came to pass in his time, they were written in former times, concerning those that sinned, and did wickedly against the Lord above all people and kingdoms, and how they grieved him exceedingly, so that the words of the Lord rose up against Israel.
