2 Kings 23:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 He smashed the sacred pillars and cut down the Asherah. He defiled these places with human bones. 15 He broke down the altar in Bethel, the altar and the high place that Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, had built. He burned the high place and crushed it to powder, and he also burned the Asherah.
16 Josiah looked around and when he saw that there were graves on the hillside, he sent for and removed the bones from the graves. He burned them upon the altar to defile it. This fulfilled the word of the Lord that the man of God had proclaimed through these words.

2 Kings 23:14-16
New International Version
14 Josiah smashed(A) the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles and covered the sites with human bones.(B)
15 Even the altar(C) at Bethel, the high place made by Jeroboam(D) son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin—even that altar and high place he demolished. He burned the high place and ground it to powder, and burned the Asherah pole also. 16 Then Josiah(E) looked around, and when he saw the tombs that were there on the hillside, he had the bones removed from them and burned on the altar to defile it, in accordance(F) with the word of the Lord proclaimed by the man of God who foretold these things.
