2 Kings 23:4-10
4And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548, and the priestsH3548 of the secondH4932 orderH6680, and the keepersH8104 of the door, to bringH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 allH3605 the vesselsH3627 that were madeH6213 for BaalH1168, and for the AsherahH842, and for allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064: and he burnedH8313 them without JerusalemH3389 in the fieldsH7709 of KidronH6939, and carriedH5375 the ashesH6083 of them unto Beth-el.
5And he putH5414 downH5414 the idolatrousH3649 priestsH3649, whomH834 the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had ordained to burnH6999 incenseH6999 in the highH1116 placesH1116 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the placesH1116 roundH4524 aboutH4428 JerusalemH3389; them also that burnedH6999 incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, to the sunH8121, and to the moonH3394, and to the planets, and to allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064.
6And he broughtH3318 outH3318 the AsherahH842 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, without JerusalemH3389, unto the brookH5158 KidronH6939, and burnedH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939, and stamped it small to powderH1854, and castH7993 the powderH1854 thereof uponH5921 the gravesH6913 of the commonH1121 peopleH5971.
7And he brake downH5422 the housesH1004 of the sodomitesH6945, that were in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, whereH834 the womenH802 wove hangingsH1004 for the AsherahH842.
8And he broughtH935 allH3605 the priestsH3548 outH5921 of the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and defiledH2930 the highH1116 placesH1116 whereH834 the priestsH3548 had burnedH6999 incenseH6999, from GebaH1387 to Beer-sheba; and he brake downH5422 the highH1116 placesH1116 of the gatesH8179 that were at the enteringH935 in of the gateH8179 of JoshuaH3091 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, whichH834 were on a man’sH376 leftH8040 handH8040 at the gateH8179 of the cityH5892.
9NeverthelessH389 the priestsH3548 of the highH1116 placesH1116 cameH5927 notH3808 upH5927 to the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 in JerusalemH3389, but they didH3808 eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 among their brethrenH251.
10And he defiledH2930 TophethH8612, whichH834 is in the valleyH1516 of the childrenH1121 of HinnomH2011, that noH1115 manH376 might makeH2930 his sonH1121 or his daughterH1323 to passH5674 throughH5674 the fireH784 to MolechH4432.
