2 Kings 23:4-8

4Then the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548, the priestsH3548 second in rankH4932, and the doorkeepersH8104H5592 to removeH3318 from the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 allH3605 the articlesH3627 madeH6213 for BaalH1168, AsherahH842, and allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064. And he burned themH8313 outsideH2351 JerusalemH3389 in the fieldsH7709 of KidronH6939 and carriedH5375 their ashesH6083 to BethelH1008.

5Josiah also did away withH7673 the idolatrous priestsH3649 ordainedH5414 by the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 to burn incenseH6999 on the high placesH1116 of the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the places all aroundH4524 JerusalemH3389—those who had burned incenseH6999 to BaalH1168, to the sunH8121 and moonH3394, to the constellationsH4208, and to allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064.

6He broughtH3318 the Asherah poleH842 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 toH413 the KidronH6939 ValleyH5158 outsideH2351 JerusalemH3389, andH6939H5158 there he burnedH8313 itH853, groundH1854 it to powderH6083, and threwH7993 its dustH6083 onH5921 the gravesH6913 of the commonH1121 peopleH5971. 7He also tore downH5422 the quartersH1004 of the male shrine prostitutesH6945 thatH834 were in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, whereH834 the womenH802 had wovenH707H8033 tapestriesH1004 for AsherahH842.

8Then Josiah broughtH935 allH3605 the priestsH3548 from the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and desecratedH2930 the high placesH1116, fromH834 GebaH1387 toH5704 BeershebaH884, whereH8033 the priestsH3548 had burned incenseH6999. He tore downH5422 the high placesH1116 of the gatesH8179 at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of JoshuaH3091 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, which wasH834 toH5921 the leftH8040H376 of the cityH5892 gateH8179.
