2 Kings 23:4–7
4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the fpriests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to bring gout of the temple of the Lord all the articles that were made for Baal, for 1Asherah, and for all 2the host of heaven; and he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel. 5 Then he removed the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense on the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem, and those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the 3constellations, and to hall the host of heaven. 6 And he brought out the iwooden 4image from the house of the Lord, to the Brook Kidron outside Jerusalem, burned it at the Brook Kidron and ground it to jashes, and threw its ashes on kthe graves of the common people. 7 Then he tore down the ritual 5booths lof the 6perverted persons that were in the house of the Lord, mwhere the nwomen wove hangings for the wooden image.
