Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of Yhwh. 13And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation. 14And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
