6 And he brought out the awooden image from the house of the Lord, to the Brook Kidron outside Jerusalem, burned it at the Brook Kidron and ground it to bashes, and threw its ashes on cthe graves of the common people.
7 Then he tore down the ritual1 booths aof the perverted persons that were in the house of the Lord, bwhere the cwomen wove hangings for the wooden image.
8 And he brought all the priests from the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from aGeba to Beersheba; also he broke down the high places at the gates which were at the entrance of the Gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were to the left of the city gate.
9 aNevertheless the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, bbut they ate unleavened bread among their brethren.
10 And he defiled aTopheth, which is in bthe Valley of the Son of Hinnom, cthat no man might make his son or his daughter dpass through the fire to Molech.
