2 Chronicles 14:5New International Reader's VersionAsa removed the high places and incense altars from every town in Judah. The kingdom had peace and rest under his rule. See the chapter |
He ordered the altars of the gods that were named Baal to be torn down. Josiah cut to pieces the altars above them that were used for burning incense. He smashed the Asherah poles. He also smashed the statues of other false gods. Josiah broke all of them to pieces. He scattered the pieces over the graves of those who had offered sacrifices to those gods.
