2 Kings 23:16-20

16And JosiahH2977 turnedH6437 himself, and sawH7200 the sepulchres that were there on 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, that the manH376 of 1GodH430 had proclaimedH7121, who proclaimedH7121 these thingsH1697.

17Then he saidH559, What tombstone is that which I seeH7200? And the menH376 of the cityH5892 told him, It is the sepulchre of the manH376 of 2GodH430 who cameH935 from JudahH3063 and proclaimedH7121 these thingsH1697 which thou hast done against the altarH4196 of Bethel.

18And he saidH559, Let him alone; let no manH376 move his bonesH6106. And they savedH4422 his bonesH6106, 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 removedH5493, and did to them according to all the actsH6213 that he had done in Bethel.

20And he sacrificedH2076 upon the altarsH4196 all the priestsH3548 of the highH1116 placesH1116 that were there, and burnedH8313 men's bonesH6106 upon them. And he returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
