2 Kings 23:8-12 ▼

8 And he brought all the priests from the cities of Judah, and he defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense there, from Geba to Beersheba, and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, that were on the left of a man at the gate of the city.

9 Only the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of YHWH in Jerusalem, but rather they ate unleavened things in the midst of their brothers.

10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of of Ben-hinnom, so that no man could pass his son or his daughter through the fire to Molech.

11 And he removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun from the entrance to the house of YHWH, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the officer, who was in the parbarim. And the chariots of the sun he burned with the fire.

12 And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars that Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of YHWH, the king broke down and pulverized them there, and he threw their dust into the Kidron Valley.
