What does 2 Kings 22:19 mean?

Because your heart was soft and you humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I said about this place and its people—that they’d become a warning and a curse—and because you tore your clothes and wept before me, I’ve heard you, says the Lord. 2 Kings 22:19 - Modern Text Bible

(God recognizes Josiah’s genuine humility and grief over the nation’s sin. Josiah’s response moved God to listen to him personally.)
