En Vr hem was er geen koning geweest gelijk hij, die Z met zijn ganse hart en ziel en uit alle krachten zich tot den Heer bekeerde, naar de gehele wet van Mozes; en na hem kwam er niemand hem gelijk.
En voor hem was geen koning zijns gelijke, die zich tot den HEERE, met zijn ganse hart, en met zijn ganse ziel, en met zijn ganse kracht, naar al de wet van Mozes, bekeerd had; en na hem stond zijns gelijke niet op.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And like unto him was there no king before him,.... The same is said of Hezekiah, 2 Kings 18:5, Hezekiah might excel him in some things, as Josiah might excel Hezekiah in others:
that turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might; with such sincerity, heartiness, zeal, and constancy:
according to all the law of Moses; having respect to every commandment, especially relative to worship, with the greatest precision and exactness:
neither after him arose there any like him; for all to the captivity were wicked princes.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And like unto him ... - See 2 Kings 18:5 note. We must not press the letter of either passage, but regard both kings as placed among the very best of the kings of Judah.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 23:25. Like unto him was there no king — Perhaps not one from the time of David; and, morally considered, including David himself, none ever sat on the Jewish throne, so truly exemplary in his own conduct, and so thoroughly zealous in the work of God. David was a greater but not a better man than Josiah.
