3In the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, while heH1931 was stillH5750 youngH5288, Josiah beganH2490 to seekH1875 the GodH430 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732, and in the twelfthH8147H6240 yearH8141 he beganH2490 to cleanseH2891 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 ofH4480 the high placesH1116, the Asherah polesH842, the carved idolsH6456, and the cast imagesH4541. 4Then in his presenceH6440 the altarsH4196 of the BaalsH1168 were torn downH5422, and he cut to piecesH1438 the incense altarsH2553 thatH834 were aboveH4605 themH5921. He shatteredH7665 the Asherah polesH842, the carved idolsH6456, and the cast imagesH4541, crushed them to dustH1854, and scattered themH2236 overH5921H6440 the gravesH6913 of those who had sacrificedH2076 to them. 5Then he burnedH8313 the bonesH6106 of the priestsH3548 onH5921 their altarsH4196. So he cleansedH2891 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.

6Josiah did the same in the citiesH5892 of ManassehH4519, EphraimH669, and SimeonH8095, asH5704 far as NaphtaliH5321, and in the ruinsH2022H10041 around themH5439. 7He tore downH5422 the altarsH4196 and Asherah polesH842, crushedH3807 the idolsH6456 to powderH1854, and cut to piecesH1438 allH3605 the incense altarsH2553 throughoutH3605 the landH776 of IsraelH3478.
