2 Kings 23:5-10
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.
