2 Kings 23:15-19
15Moreover the altarH4196 that was at Beth–elH1008, and the high placeH1116 which JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, had madeH6213, both that altarH4196 and the high placeH1116 he brake downH5422, and burnedH8313 the high placeH1116, and stampedH1854 it small to powderH6083, and burnedH8313 the groveH842. 16And as JosiahH2977 turnedH6437 himself, he spiedH7200 the sepulchresH6913 that were there in the mountH2022, and sentH7971, and tookH3947 the bonesH6106 out of the sepulchresH6913, and burnedH8313 them upon the altarH4196, and pollutedH2930 it, according to the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 which the manH376 of GodH430 proclaimedH7121, who proclaimedH7121 these wordsH1697. 17Then he saidH559, What titleH6725 is thatH1975 that I seeH7200? And the menH582 of the cityH5892 toldH559 him, It is the sepulchreH6913 of the manH376 of GodH430, which cameH935 from JudahH3063, and proclaimedH7121 these thingsH1697 that thou hast doneH6213 against the altarH4196 of Beth–elH1008. 18And he saidH559, Let him aloneH3240; let no manH376 moveH5128 his bonesH6106. So they let his bonesH6106 aloneH4422, with the bonesH6106 of the prophetH5030 that came outH935 of SamariaH8111.1 19And all the housesH1004 also of the high placesH1116 that were in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, which the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 had madeH6213 to provoke the Lord to angerH3707, JosiahH2977 took awayH5493, and didH6213 to them according to all the actsH4639 that he had doneH6213 in Beth–elH1008.
