2 Kings 23:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 Then he did away with the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had appointed to burn incense on the high places in the cities of Judah and in the surrounding area of Jerusalem, as well as those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the constellations, and to all the remaining (A)heavenly [a]lights. 6 He also brought out the Asherah from the house of the Lord outside Jerusalem to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and (B)ground it to dust, and (C)threw its dust on the graves of the [b]common people. 7 And he tore down the cubicles of the (D)male cult prostitutes which were in the house of the Lord, where (E)the women were weaving [c]hangings for the Asherah.
