2 Kings 23:14-16
New Life Version
2 Kings 23:14-16
New Life Version
14 And Josiah broke in pieces the pillars used in worship and cut down the Asherim. He filled their places with human bones.
15 The king broke down the altar at Bethel and the high place made by Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin, even that altar and the high place he broke down. He crushed its stones, ground them to dust, and burned the false goddess Asherah. 16 As Josiah turned, he saw the graves that were there on the mountain. He had the bones taken from the graves, and burned them on the altar. So he made the altar sinful, as the word of the Lord said would happen, through the man of God.

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.
