In context

17Then the king asked, “What is this monument I see?” And the men of the city replied, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that you have done to the altar of Bethel.”

18“Let him rest,” said Josiah. “Do not let anyone disturb his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed, along with those of the prophet who had come from Samaria.

19Just as Josiah had done at Bethel, so also in the cities of Samaria he removed all the shrines of the high places set up by the kings of Israel who had provoked the LORD to anger.

20On the altars he slaughtered all the priests of the high places, and he burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.

21The king commanded all the people, “Keep the Passover of the LORD your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.”
