the high priest, and the priests of the second order,
and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the
temple of YHVH all the vessels that were made for Baal,
and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven:
and he burned them
without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried
the ashes of them unto Bethel. And he
put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah
had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the
cities of Judah, and in the places round about
Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to
the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all
the host of heaven. And he brought out the grove from
the house of YHVH, without Jerusalem, unto the brook
Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped
it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the
graves of the children of the people."

"And he took away the horses
that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the
entering in of the house of YHVH, by the chamber of
Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs,
and burned the
chariots of the sun with fire. And the
altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of
Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars
which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house
of YHVH, did the king beat down, and brake them down
from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook
Kidron. And the high places that were before Jerusalem,
which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption,
which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for
Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for
Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom
the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king
defile. And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down
the groves, and filled their places with the bones of
men. Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the
high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made
Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high
place he brake down, and burned the high place, and
stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove."
