The author is continuing to introduce Josiah. See how you translated the similar expressions in 3:2 and 8:18. Alternate translation: [And he did what Yahweh considered to be right, and he lived just as David his ancestor had lived, and he did not stop living that way in any regard]

Within this image, the author is using two basic directions in which Josiah could have turned, right and left, to mean every direction. If you decide to retain the image in your translation, if it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and he did not turn away in any direction]

OET (OET-RV) He did what Yahweh had said was correct behaviour, following all the customs of his ancestor King David, and obeying Yahweh’s instructions.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
