2 Kings 23:15-18
15Furthermore, 1the altar that was at Bethel and the 2high 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 3burned the high place, ground the remains to dust, and burned the Asherah.
16Now when Josiah turned, he saw the graves that were there on the mountain, and he sent men and took the bones from the graves, and burned them on the altar and defiled it 4in accordance with the word of the Lord which the man of God proclaimed, the one who proclaimed these things.
17Then he said, “What is this gravestone there that I see?” And the men of the city told him, “5It is the grave of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things which you have done against the altar of Bethel.”
18And he said, “Leave him alone; no one is to disturb his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed 6with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.
