¹⁵ Furthermore, ^(A)the altar that was at Bethel and the ^(B)high 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 ^[a](C)demolished its stones, ground them to dust, and burned the Asherah. ¹⁶ Then 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 ^(D)according to the word of Yahweh which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things. ¹⁷ Then he said, “What is this monument that I see?” And the men of the city told him, “^(E)It 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.” ¹⁸ And he said, “Let him alone; let no one move his bones.” So they ^[b]left his bones undisturbed ^(F)with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria. ¹⁹ And also all the houses of the high places which were ^(G)in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made provoking ^[c]Yahweh to anger, Josiah removed; and he did to them ^[d]just as he had done in Bethel. ²⁰ And all the priests of the high places who were there ^(H)he ^[e]slaughtered on the altars and burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
