2 Kings 23:4-15

4And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 Hilkijah the high priestH3548, and the priestsH3548 of the secondH4932 order, and the doorkeepers, to bringH3318 forthH3318 out of the templeH1964 of Jehovah all the vesselsH3627 that had been madeH6213 for BaalH1168, and for the AsherahH842, and for all the hostH6635 of the heavensH8064; and he burnedH8313 them outside JerusalemH3389 in the fieldsH7709 of KidronH6939, and carriedH5375 the ashes of them to Bethel.

5And he abolished the idolatrous priestsH3649, whom the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had ordained to burn incenseH6999 on the highH1116 placesH1116 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the environs of JerusalemH3389; and them that burned incenseH6999 to BaalH1168, to the sunH8121, and to the moonH3394, and to the constellations, and to all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064.

6And he broughtH3318 out the AsherahH842 from the houseH1004 of Jehovah, outside JerusalemH3389, to the torrent of KidronH6939, and burnedH8313 it at the torrent of KidronH6939, and stamped it small to powder, and castH7993 the powder upon the gravesH6913 of the children of the peopleH5971.

7And he brokeH5422 down the housesH1004 of the sodomites, which were in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, whereH834 the womenH802 wove tents for the AsherahH842.

8And he broughtH935 all the priestsH3548 out of the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and defiledH2930 the highH1116 placesH1116 whereH834 the priestsH3548 had burned incenseH6999, from GebaH1387 even to Beer-sheba; and he brokeH5422 down the highH1116 placesH1116 of the gatesH8179, those at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of JoshuaH3091 the governor of the cityH5892, [and] those on the left handH8040 of any [goingH935 in] at the gateH8179 of the cityH5892.

9NeverthelessH389 the priestsH3548 of the highH1116 placesH1116 cameH5927 not up to the altarH4196 of Jehovah in JerusalemH3389, but they ateH398 of the unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 among their brethren.

10And he defiledH2930 TophethH8612, which is in the valleyH1516 of the sonsH1121 of HinnomH2011, that no manH376 might cause his sonH1121 or his daughterH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784 to MolechH4432.

11And he abolished the horsesH5483 that the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had appointed to the sunH8121 at the entrance of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burnedH8313 the chariotsH4818 of the sunH8121, with fireH784.

12And the kingH4428 brokeH5422 down the altarsH4196 that were on the roofH1406 of the upperH5944 chamberH5944 of AhazH271, which the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had madeH6213, and the altarsH4196 that ManassehH4519 had madeH6213 in the twoH8147 courts of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and he shattered them, [removing them] from thence, and castH7993 the powder of them into the torrent of KidronH6939.

13And the highH1116 placesH1116 that were before JerusalemH3389, which were on the rightH3225 handH3225 of the mount of corruption, which SolomonH8010 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had builtH1129 for Ashtoreth the abominationH8441 of the Zidonians, and for ChemoshH3645 the abominationH8441 of the Moabites, and for MilcomH4445 the abominationH8441 of the children of AmmonH5983, did the kingH4428 defileH2930.

14And he brokeH7665 in pieces the columns, and cutH3772 down the Asherahs, and filledH4390 their placeH4725 with the bonesH6106 of menH120.

15Moreover the altarH4196 that was at Bethel, the highH1116 placeH1116 that JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who caused IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, had madeH6213, both that altarH4196 and the highH1116 placeH1116 he brokeH5422 downH5422; and burnedH8313 the highH1116 placeH1116, stamped it small to powder, and burnedH8313 the AsherahH842.
