They made a formal covenant to recommit to God's laws, with chapter 10 listing the names of priests, leaders, and families who sealed this agreement as a public act of dedication. Verse 23 specifically mentions Hoshea, Hananiah, and Hashub as part of those who affirmed this renewal of faithfulness.
