2 Kings 23:14-20
14And he brake in pieces the pillarsH4676, and cutH3772 down the Asherim, and filledH4390 their placesH4725 with the bonesH6106 of menH120.
15Moreover the altarH4196 that was at Beth-el, and the highH1116 placeH1116 which JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who madeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, had madeH6213, even that altarH4196 and the highH1116 placeH1116 he brake downH5422; and he burnedH8313 the highH1116 placeH1116 and beat it to dustH6083, and burnedH8313 the AsherahH842. 16And as JosiahH2977 turnedH6437 himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount; and he sentH7971, and tookH3947 the bonesH6106 out of the sepulchres, and burnedH8313 them upon the altarH4196, and defiledH2930 it, according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah which the manH376 of GodH430 proclaimedH7121, who proclaimedH7121 these thingsH1697. 17Then he saidH559, What monument is that which I seeH7200? And the menH376 of the cityH5892 told him, It is the sepulchre of the manH376 of GodH430, who cameH935 from JudahH3063, and proclaimedH7121 these thingsH1697 that thou hast done against the altarH4196 of Beth-el. 18And he saidH559, Let him be; let no manH376 move his bonesH6106. So they let his bonesH6106 alone, with the bonesH6106 of the prophetH5030 that cameH935 out of SamariaH8111. 19And all the housesH1004 alsoH1571 of the highH1116 placesH1116 that were in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, which the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 had madeH6213 to provokeH3707 Jehovah to angerH3707, JosiahH2977 took awayH5493, and did to them according to all the actsH6213 that he had done in Beth-el. 20And he slew all the priestsH3548 of the highH1116 placesH1116 that were there, upon the altarsH4196, and burnedH8313 men’sH120 bonesH6106 upon them; and he returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
