15FurthermoreH1571, 3the altarH4196 that was at BethelH1008 and the 4highH1116 placeH1116 whichH834 JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, whoH834 made IsraelH3478 sinH2398, had madeH6213, evenH1571 that altarH4196 and the highH1116 placeH1116 he brokeH5422 downH5422. Then he 56demolishedH7665 its stones, groundH1854 them to dustH6083, and burnedH8313 the AsherahH842. 16Now when JosiahH2977 turnedH6437, he sawH7200 the gravesH6913 that were thereH8033 on the mountainH2022, and he sentH7971 and tookH3947 the bonesH6106 from the gravesH6913 and burnedH8313 them on the altarH4196 and defiledH2930 it 7according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 whichH834 the manH376 of GodH430 proclaimedH7121, whoH834 proclaimedH7121 theseH428 thingsH1697. 17Then he saidH559, “WhatH4100 is thisH1975 monumentH6725 that I seeH7200?” And the menH376 of the cityH5892 toldH559 him, “8It is the graveH6913 of the manH376 of GodH430 whoH834 cameH935 from JudahH3063 and proclaimedH7121 theseH428 thingsH1697 whichH834 you have doneH6213 againstH5921 the altarH4196 of BethelH1008.” 18He saidH559, “LetH5117 him aloneH5117; let noH408 oneH376 disturbH5128 his bonesH6106.” So they 9leftH4422 his bonesH6106 undisturbedH4422 10with the bonesH6106 of the prophetH5030 whoH834 cameH935 from SamariaH8111. 19JosiahH2977 alsoH1571 removedH5493 allH3605 the housesH1004 of the highH1116 placesH1116 whichH834 were 11in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, whichH834 the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 had madeH6213 provokingH3707 12the LordH3068; and he didH6213 to them 13justH3605H4639 as he had doneH6213 in BethelH1008. 20AllH3605 the priestsH3548 of the highH1116 placesH1116 whoH834 were thereH8033 14he slaughteredH2076 on the altarsH4196 and burnedH8313 humanH120 bonesH6106 on them; then he returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
