This commentary also points out:

was added here to give the strongest possible emphasis, since this is the very first
time this requirement appears in the Bible. This full form of the formula appears
again only in 2 Kings 23:25, describing King Josiah, who returned to God in a way
unmatched by any other Israelite king.<<

Thanks. The LXX of 2 Kings 23:25 is KARDIA ... YUCH ... ISCUS, but apparently one text has YUCH and ISCUS reversed. So the NT use of ISCUS may come from the LXX here - or vice versa.
