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.
