2 Kings 23:15-20
15Furthermore, athe altar that was at Bethel and the bhigh place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he tore down. Then he 1,cdemolished its stones, ground them to dust, and burned the Asherah. 16Then Josiah turned, and he saw the graves that were there on the mountain, and he sent and took the bones from the graves and burned them on the altar and defiled it aaccording to the word of Yahweh which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things. 17Then he said, “What is this monument that I see?” And the men of the city told him, “aIt is the grave of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things which you have done against the altar of Bethel.” 18And he said, “Let him alone; let no one move his bones.” So they 1left his bones undisturbed awith the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria. 19And also all the houses of the high places which were ain the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made provoking 1Yahweh to anger, Josiah removed; and he did to them 2just as he had done in Bethel. 20And all the priests of the high places who were there ahe 1slaughtered on the altars and burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
