Go ye, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of Jehovah, to do according unto all that is written in this book.

For them, that are left in Israel and in Judah - Compare the words in Kings 2Ki 22:13. in both records the intention is to show that the king regarded the ten tribes as being under his care, no less than the two.
This site's exposition
that he rent his clothes
on 2 Chronicles 34:19-21
Torn clothes are Josiah's own response, not a ritual demanded of him, and Wesley reads it as the mark of a heart not yet hardened by long familiarity with words entirely new to his own generation. He does not wait to feel better before acting; the same passage moves straight to commanding an inquiry of the Lord for himself and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, the northern remnant again held together with Judah under one king's care. The wrath he fears is named as already poured out, not merely threatened, because the fathers did not keep the word of the Lord.
