2 Kings 23:15-20

1599 Geneva Bible

¹⁵ Furthermore ^[a]the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place made by Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin, both this altar and also the high place, brake he down, and burnt the high place, and stamped it to powder and burnt the grove.

¹⁶ And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the graves that were in the mount, and sent and took the bones out of the graves, and burnt them upon the altar and polluted it, according to the word of the Lord, that the ^[b]man of God proclaimed, which cried the same words.

¹⁷ Then he said, What title is that which I see? And the men of the city said unto him, It is the sepulcher of the man of God, which came from Judah, and told these things that thou hast done to the altar of Bethel.

¹⁸ Then said he, Let him alone: let none remove his bones. So his bones were saved with the bones of the ^[c]Prophet that came from Samaria.

¹⁹ Josiah also took away all the houses of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to anger the Lord, and did to them according to all the facts that he had done in Bethel.

²⁰ And he sacrificed all the Priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burnt men’s bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
