2 Kings 23:13-15
13And the king defiled the high places that were opposite Jerusalem, which were on the right of 1the mount of destruction which Solomon the king of Israel had built for 2Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, for 3Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the sons of Ammon. 144He also smashed to pieces the memorial stones and cut down the 5Asherim, and 6filled their places with human bones.
15Furthermore, 7the altar that was at Bethel and the 8high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who misled Israel into sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he tore down. Then he 9burned the high place, ground the remains to dust, and burned the Asherah.
