Asherah{H842} from the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} without{H2351} Jerusalem,{H3389} unto the brook{H5158} Kidron,{H6939} and burned{H8313} it at the brook{H5158} Kidron,{H6939} and beat{H1854} it to dust,{H6083} and cast{H7993} the dust{H6083} thereof upon the graves{H6913} of the common{H1121} people.{H5971} 7 And he brake down{H5422} the houses{H1004} of the sodomites,{H6945} that were in the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} where the women{H802} wove{H707} hangings{H1004} for the Asherah.{H842} 8 And he brought{H935} all the priests{H3548} out of the cities{H5892} of Judah,{H3063} and defiled{H2930} the high places{H1116} where the priests{H3548} had burned incense,{H6999} from Geba{H1387} to Beer-sheba;{H884} and he brake down{H5422} the high places{H1116} of the gates{H8179} that were at the entrance{H6607} of the gate{H8179} of Joshua{H3091} the governor{H8269} of the city,{H5892} which were on a man's{H376} left hand{H8040} at the gate{H8179} of the city.{H5892} 9 Nevertheless the priests{H3548} of the high places{H1116} came not up{H5927} to the altar{H4196} of Jehovah{H3068} in Jerusalem,{H3389} but they did eat{H398} unleavened bread{H4682} among{H8432} their brethren.{H251} 10 And he defiled{H2930} Topheth,{H8612} which is in the valley{H1516} of the children{H1121} of Hinnom,{H2011} that no man{H376} might make his son{H1121} or his daughter{H1323} to pass through{H5674} the fire{H784} to Molech.{H4432} 11 And he took away{H7673} the horses{H5483} that the kings{H4428} of Judah{H3063} had given{H5414} to the sun,{H8121} at the entrance{H935} of the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} by the chamber{H3957} of Nathan-melech{H5419} the chamberlain,{H5631} which was in the precincts;{H6503} and he burned{H8313} the chariots{H4818} of the sun{H8121} with fire.{H784} 12 And the altars{H4196} that were on the roof{H1406} of the upper chamber{H5944} of Ahaz,{H271} which the kings{H4428} of Judah{H3063} had made,{H6213} and the altars{H4196} which Manasseh{H4519} had made{H6213} in the two{H8147} courts{H2691} of the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} did the king{H4428} break down,{H5422} and beat [them] down{H7323} from thence, and cast{H7993} the dust{H6083} of them into the brook{H5158} Kidron.{H6939} 13 And the high places{H1116} that were before{H6440} Jerusalem,{H3389} which were on the right hand{H3225} of the mount{H2022} of corruption,{H4889} which Solomon{H8010} the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} had builded{H1129} for Ashtoreth{H6253} the abomination{H8251} of the Sidonians,{H6722} and for Chemosh{H3645} the abomination{H8251} of Moab,{H4124} and for Milcom{H4445} the abomination{H8441} of the children{H1121} of Ammon,{H5983} did the king{H4428} defile.{H2930} 14 And he brake in pieces{H7665} the pillars,{H4676} and cut down{H3772} the Asherim,{H842} and filled{H4390} their places{H4725} with the bones{H6106} of men.{H120} 15 Moreover the altar{H4196} that was at Beth-el,{H1008} and the high place{H1116} which Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat,{H5028} who made Israel{H3478} to sin,{H2398} had made,{H6213} even that altar{H4196} and the high place{H1116} he brake down;{H5422} and he burned{H8313} the high place{H1116} and beat{H1854} it to dust,{H6083} and burned{H8313} the Asherah.{H842} 16 And as Josiah{H2977} turned{H6437} himself, he spied{H7200} the sepulchres{H6913} that were there in the mount;{H2022} and he sent,{H7971} and took{H3947} the bones{H6106} out of the sepulchres,{H6913} and burned{H8313} them upon the altar,{H4196} and defiled{H2930} it, according to the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} which the man{H376} of God{H430} proclaimed,{H7121} who proclaimed{H7121} these things.{H1697} 17 Then he said,{H559} What monument{H6725} is that{H1975} which I see?{H7200} And the men{H582} of the city{H5892} told{H559} him, It is the sepulchre{H6913} of the man{H376} of God,{H430} who came{H935} from Judah,{H3063} and proclaimed{H7121} these things{H1697} that thou hast done{H6213} against the altar{H4196} of Beth-el.{H1008} 18 And he said,{H559} Let him be;{H3240} let no man{H376} move{H5128} his bones.{H6106} So they let his bones{H6106} alone,{H4422} with the bones{H6106} of the prophet{H5030} that came out{H935} of Samaria.{H8111} 19 And all the houses{H1004} also of the high places{H1116} that were in the cities{H5892} of Samaria,{H8111} which the kings{H4428} of Israel{H3478} had made{H6213} to provoke [Jehovah] to anger,{H3707} Josiah{H2977} took away,{H5493} and did{H6213} to them according to all the acts{H4639} that he had done{H6213} in Beth-el.{H1008} 20 And he slew{H2076} all the priests{H3548} of the high places{H1116} that were there, upon the altars,{H4196} and burned{H8313} men's{H120} bones{H6106} upon them; and he returned{H7725} to Jerusalem.{H3389}
2 Chr 14:3 : 3 for he took away{H5493} the foreign{H5236} altars,{H4196} and the high places,{H1116} and brake down{H7665} the pillars,{H4676} and hewed down{H7665} the Asherim,{H842}
2 Chr 23:17 : 17 And all the people{H5971} went{H935} to the house{H1004} of Baal,{H1168} and brake it down,{H5422} and brake{H7665} his altars{H4196} and his images{H6754} in pieces,{H7665} and slew{H2026} Mattan{H4977} the priest{H3548} of Baal{H1168} before{H6440} the altars.{H4196}
2 Chr 30:1-9 : 1 And Hezekiah{H3169} sent{H7971} to all Israel{H3478} and Judah,{H3063} and wrote{H3789} letters{H107} also to Ephraim{H669} and Manasseh,{H4519} that they should come{H935} to the house{H1004} of Jehovah{H3068} at Jerusalem,{H3389} to keep{H6213} the passover{H6453} unto Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel.{H3478} 2 For the king{H4428} had taken counsel,{H3289} and his princes,{H8269} and all the assembly{H6951} in Jerusalem,{H3389} to keep{H6213} the passover{H6453} in the second{H8145} month.{H2320} 3 For they could{H3201} not keep{H6213} it at that time,{H6256} because the priests{H3548} had not sanctified{H6942} themselves in sufficient{H4078} number, neither had the people{H5971} gathered themselves together{H622} to Jerusalem.{H3389} 4 And the thing{H1697} was right{H3474} in the eyes of the king{H4428} and of all the assembly.{H6951} 5 So they established{H5975} a decree{H1697} to make proclamation{H5674} throughout all Israel,{H3478} from Beer-sheba{H884} even to Dan,{H1835} that they should come{H935} to keep{H6213} the passover{H6453} unto Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} at Jerusalem:{H3389} for they had not kept{H6213} it [ in great numbers]{H7230} [in such sort as it is written.]{H3789} 6 So the posts{H7323} went{H3212} with the letters{H107} from{H3027} the king{H4428} and his princes{H8269} throughout all Israel{H3478} and Judah,{H3063} and according to the commandment{H4687} of the king,{H4428} saying,{H559} Ye children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} turn again{H7725} unto Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Abraham,{H85} Isaac,{H3327} and Israel,{H3478} that he may return{H7725} to the remnant{H7604} that are escaped{H6413} of you out of the hand{H3709} of the kings{H4428} of Assyria.{H804} 7 And be not ye like your fathers,{H1} and like your brethren,{H251} who trespassed{H4603} against Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of their fathers,{H1} so that he gave them up{H5414} to desolation,{H8047} as ye see.{H7200} 8 Now be ye not stiffnecked,{H7185} as your fathers{H1} were; but yield{H5414} yourselves{H3027} unto Jehovah,{H3068} and enter{H935} into his sanctuary,{H4720} which he hath sanctified{H6942} for ever,{H5769} and serve{H5647} Jehovah{H3068} your God,{H430} that his fierce{H2740} anger{H639} may turn away{H7725} from you. 9 For if ye turn again{H7725} unto Jehovah,{H3068} your brethren{H251} and your children{H1121} shall find compassion{H7356} before{H6440} them that led them captive,{H7617} and shall come again{H7725} into this land:{H776} for Jehovah{H3068} your God{H430} is gracious{H2587} and merciful,{H7349} and will not turn away{H5493} his face{H6440} from you, if ye return{H7725} unto him. 10 So the posts{H7323} passed{H5674} from city{H5892} to city{H5892} through the country{H776} of Ephraim{H669} and Manasseh,{H4519} even unto Zebulun:{H2074} but they laughed them to scorn,{H7832} and mocked{H3932} them. 11 Nevertheless certain{H582} men of Asher{H836} and Manasseh{H4519} and of Zebulun{H2074} humbled{H3665} themselves, and came{H935} to Jerusalem.{H3389} 12 Also upon Judah{H3063} came the hand{H3027} of God{H430} to give{H5414} them one{H259} heart,{H3820} to do{H6213} the commandment{H4687} of the king{H4428} and of the princes{H8269} by the word{H1697} of Jehovah.{H3068} 13 And there assembled{H622} at Jerusalem{H3389} much{H7227} people{H5971} to keep{H6213} the feast{H2282} of unleavened bread{H4682} in the second{H8145} month,{H2320} a very{H3966} great{H7230} assembly.{H6951} 14 And they arose{H6965} and took away{H5493} the altars{H4196} that were in Jerusalem,{H3389} and all the altars for incense{H6999} took they away,{H5493} and cast{H7993} them into the brook{H5158} Kidron.{H6939} 15 Then they killed{H7819} the passover{H6453} on the fourteenth{H702} day of the second{H8145} month:{H2320} and the priests{H3548} and the Levites{H3881} were ashamed,{H3637} and sanctified{H6942} themselves, and brought{H935} burnt-offerings{H5930} into the house{H1004} of Jehovah.{H3068} 16 And they stood{H5975} in their place{H5977} after their order,{H4941} according to the law{H8451} of Moses{H4872} the man{H376} of God:{H430} the priests{H3548} sprinkled{H2236} the blood{H1818} [which they received] of the hand{H3027} of the Levites.{H3881} 17 For there were many{H7227} in the assembly{H6951} that had not sanctified{H6942} themselves: therefore the Levites{H3881} had the charge of killing{H7821} the passovers{H6453} for every one that was not clean,{H2889} to sanctify{H6942} them unto Jehovah.{H3068} 18 For a multitude{H4768} of the people,{H5971} even many{H7227} of Ephraim{H669} and Manasseh,{H4519} Issachar{H3485} and Zebulun,{H2074} had not{H3808} cleansed{H2891} themselves, yet did they eat{H398} the passover{H6453} otherwise than it is written.{H3789} For Hezekiah{H3169} had prayed{H6419} for them, saying,{H559} The good{H2896} Jehovah{H3068} pardon{H3722} every one 19 that setteth{H3559} his heart{H3824} to seek{H1875} God,{H430} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of his fathers,{H1} though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification{H2893} of the sanctuary.{H6944} 20 And Jehovah{H3068} hearkened{H8085} to Hezekiah,{H3169} and healed{H7495} the people.{H5971} 21 And the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} that were present{H4672} at Jerusalem{H3389} kept{H6213} the feast{H2282} of unleavened bread{H4682} seven{H7651} days{H3117} with great{H1419} gladness;{H8057} and the Levites{H3881} and the priests{H3548} praised{H1984} Jehovah{H3068} day{H3117} by day,{H3117} [singing] with loud{H5797} instruments{H3627} unto Jehovah.{H3068} 22 And Hezekiah{H3169} spake{H1696} comfortably{H3820} unto all the Levites{H3881} that had good{H2896} understanding{H7922} in the service{H7919} of Jehovah.{H3068} So they did eat{H398} throughout the feast{H4150} for the seven{H7651} days,{H3117} offering{H2076} sacrifices{H8002} of peace-offerings,{H2077} and making confession{H3034} to Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of their fathers.{H1} 23 And the whole assembly{H6951} took counsel{H3289} to keep{H6213} other{H312} seven{H7651} days;{H3117} and they kept{H6213} other seven{H7651} days{H3117} with gladness.{H8057} 24 For Hezekiah{H2396} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} did give{H7311} to the assembly{H6951} for offerings a thousand{H505} bullocks{H6499} and seven{H7651} thousand{H505} sheep;{H6629} and the princes{H8269} gave{H7311} to the assembly{H6951} a thousand{H505} bullocks{H6499} and ten{H6235} thousand{H505} sheep:{H6629} and a great number{H7230} of priests{H3548} sanctified{H6942} themselves. 25 And all the assembly{H6951} of Judah,{H3063} with the priests{H3548} and the Levites,{H3881} and all the assembly{H6951} that came out{H935} of Israel,{H3478} and the sojourners{H1616} that came out{H935} of the land{H776} of Israel,{H3478} and that dwelt{H3427} in Judah,{H3063} rejoiced.{H8055} 26 So

Jerusalem.{H3389} 27 Then the priests{H3548} the Levites{H3881} arose{H6965} and blessed{H1288} the people:{H5971} and their voice{H6963} was heard,{H8085} and their prayer{H8605} came{H935} up to his holy{H6944} habitation,{H4583} even unto heaven.{H8064}
Gen 19:15 : 15 And when{H3644} the morning{H7837} arose,{H5927} then the angels{H4397} hastened{H213} Lot,{H3876} saying,{H559} Arise,{H6965} take{H3947} thy wife,{H802} and thy two{H8147} daughters{H1323} that are here,{H4672} lest thou be consumed{H5595} in the iniquity{H5771} of the city.{H5892}
