Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that [pertained] to the children of Israel,.... All their idols, as related in 2 Kings 23:4, c.

and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the Lord their God by his edicts, and by his example:

and all his days they departed not from following the Lord God of their fathers; not publicly and universally; otherwise there were great declensions and corruptions among them, as the prophecies of Jeremiah and Zephaniah show.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

All his days they departed not - This must be understood in the letter rather than in the spirit. There was no open idolatry in the reign of Josiah, but the reformation was seeming rather than real, superficial rather than searching and complete (compare the marginal reference).
