\v 27 and his deeds, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

ISSUE: It appears there is an extraneous "and" at the beginning of verse 27.

SUGGESTION:

I deleted "and" at the beginning of v27 and corrected the TN.

The ULB is a bit awkward with "matters" and "good deeds" in 26 and "deeds" in 27. It makes it look like 27 is only about the good deeds.

\v 26 As for the other matters concerning Josiah, and his good deeds done in obedience to what is written in the law of Yahweh—
\v 27 his deeds, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

But Hebrew has דִּבְרֵ֥י (S1697) and וַחֲסָדָ֑יו (S2617) in v26 and וּדְבָרָ֕יו (S1697) again in v. 27. So it looks like v27 is about all the matters - not just about the good deeds.

Other versions are more like Hebrew.

NIV: The other events of Josiah’s reign and his acts of devotion in accordance with what is written in the Law of the LORD— all the events, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

ESV: Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds according to what is written in the Law of the LORD, and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

Would it be good for the ULB to have the same noun at the beginning of 26 and 27?

\v 26 As for the other matters concerning Josiah, and his good deeds done in obedience to what is written in the law of Yahweh—
\v 27 these matters, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

When will the changes on the 22-01 branch be pushed to the master? I'm fine with the change you suggested, changing "deeds" to "matters," but I don't think it is crucial enough to change immediately and can wait until a future revision. Is this branch the future revision?
