2 Kings 23:10-14

10And he defiledH2930 TophethH8612, which is in the valleyH1516 of the childrenH1121 of HinnomH2011, that no manH376 might make his sonH1121 or his daughterH1323 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784 to MolechH4432.

11And he took awayH7673 the horsesH5483 that the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had givenH5414 to the sunH8121, at the entering inH935 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, by the chamberH3957 of Nathan–melechH5419 the chamberlainH5631, which was in the suburbsH6503, and burnedH8313 the chariotsH4818 of the sunH8121 with fireH784.1

12And the altarsH4196 that were on the topH1406 of the upper chamberH5944 of AhazH271, which the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had madeH6213, and the altarsH4196 which ManassehH4519 had madeH6213 in the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, did the kingH4428 beat downH5422, and brake them downH7323 from thence, and castH7993 the dustH6083 of them into the brookH5158 KidronH6939.2

13And the high placesH1116 that were beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, which were on the right handH3225 of the mountH2022 of corruptionH4889, which SolomonH8010 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had buildedH1129 for AshtorethH6253 the abominationH8251 of the ZidoniansH6722, and for ChemoshH3645 the abominationH8251 of the MoabitesH4124, and for MilcomH4445 the abominationH8441 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, did the kingH4428 defileH2930.3

14And he brake in piecesH7665 the imagesH4676, and cut downH3772 the grovesH842, and filledH4390 their placesH4725 with the bonesH6106 of menH120.4
