2 Kings 23:1-4

11Then the king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. 2The king went up to the house of the Lord and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests and the prophets and all the people, both small and great; and 2he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant 3which was found in the house of the Lord. 34The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the Lord, 5to walk after the Lord, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people 6entered into the covenant.

4Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest and 7the priests of the second order and the 8doorkeepers, 9to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, for 10Asherah, and for all the host of heaven; and 11he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
