Moreover the altar that was at Beth-el, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he brake down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke (Jehovah) to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.
