2 Kings 23:15-24

23:15

Moreover the altar
<04196>

that [was] at Bethel
<01008>_,

[and] the high place
<01116>

which Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_,

had made
<06213> (8804)_,

both that altar
<04196>

and the high place
<01116>

he brake down
<05422> (8804)_,

and burned
<08313> (8799)

the high place
<01116>_,

[and] stamped
<01854> (8689)

[it] small to powder
<06083>_,

and burned
<08313> (8804)

the grove
<0842>_.

23:16

And as Josiah
<02977>

turned
<06437> (8799)

himself, he spied
<07200> (8799)

the sepulchres
<06913>

that [were] there in the mount
<02022>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

the bones
<06106>

out of the sepulchres
<06913>_,

and burned
<08313> (8799)

[them] upon the altar
<04196>_,

and polluted
<02930> (8762)

it, according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

which the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

proclaimed
<07121> (8804)_,

who proclaimed
<07121> (8804)

these words
<01697>_.

23:17

Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What title
<06725>

[is] that
<01975>

that I see
<07200> (8802)_?

And the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>

told
<0559> (8799)

him, [It is] the sepulchre
<06913>

of the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

which came
<0935> (8804)

from Judah
<03063>_,

and proclaimed
<07121> (8799)

these things
<01697>

that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

against the altar
<04196>

of Bethel
<01008>_.

23:18

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let him alone
<03240> (8685)_;

let no man
<0376>

move
<05128> (8686)

his bones
<06106>_.

So they let his bones
<06106>

alone
<04422> (8762)_,

with the bones
<06106>

of the prophet
<05030>

that came out
<0935> (8804)

of Samaria
<08111>_.

{bones alone: Heb. bones to escape}

23:19

And all the houses
<01004>

also of the high places
<01116>

that [were] in the cities
<05892>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

which the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

had made
<06213> (8804)

to provoke [the LORD] to anger
<03707> (8687)_,

Josiah
<02977>

took away
<05493> (8689)_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

to them according to all the acts
<04639>

that he had done
<06213> (8804)

in Bethel
<01008>_.

23:20

And he slew
<02076> (8799)

all the priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>

that [were] there upon the altars
<04196>_,

and burned
<08313> (8799)

men's
<0120>

bones
<06106>

upon them, and returned
<07725> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{slew: or, sacrificed}

23:21

And the king
<04428>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

all the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Keep
<06213> (8798)

the passover
<06453>

unto the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of this covenant
<01285>_.

23:22

Surely there was not holden
<06213> (8738)

such a passover
<06453>

from the days
<03117>

of the judges
<08199> (8802)

that judged
<08199> (8804)

Israel
<03478>_,

nor in all the days
<03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

nor of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_;

23:23

But in the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Josiah
<02977>_,

[wherein] this passover
<06453>

was holden
<06213> (8738)

to the LORD
<03068>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

23:24

Moreover the [workers with] familiar spirits
<0178>_,

and the wizards
<03049>_,

and the images
<08655>_,

and the idols
<01544>_,

and all the abominations
<08251>

that were spied
<07200> (8738)

in the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>

and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

did Josiah
<02977>

put away
<01197> (8765)_,

that he might perform
<06965> (8687)

the words
<01697>

of the law
<08451>

which were written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

that Hilkiah
<02518>

the priest
<03548>

found
<04672> (8804)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.
