2 Kings 23:4-5

4Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest and 1the priests of the second order and the 2doorkeepers, 3to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, for 4Asherah, and for all the host of heaven; and 5he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.

5He did away with the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had appointed to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the surrounding area of Jerusalem, also those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and to the moon and to the constellations and to all the 6host of heaven.
