¹¹ Then he removed the horses that the kings of Judah had ^[a]dedicated to the sun, at the entrance to the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech, the officer who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

¹⁶ So He brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s house; and there, at the door of the temple of the Lord, ^(A)between the porch and the altar, ^(B)were about twenty-five men ^(C)with their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping ^(D)the sun toward the east.

^4 (A)They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and the incense altars which were above them he cut down; and the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images he broke in pieces, and made dust of them ^(B)and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

⁵ He also removed the ^[a]high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom was quiet under him.

⁵ Then he removed the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense on the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem, and those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the ^[a]constellations, and to ^(A)all the host of heaven.

¹⁹ And take heed, lest you ^(A)lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, ^(B)all the host of heaven, you feel driven to ^(C)worship them and serve them, which the Lord your God has ^[a]given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage.
