nevertheless he did not away [the] high things; yet the people made sacrifice, and burnt incense in high things; he builded the highest gate of the house of the Lord.
And he destroyed [the] high places, and all-brake [the] images, and cut down [the maumet] woods, and he brake the brazen serpent, whom Moses had made; for unto that time the sons of Israel burnt incense to it; and he called the name of it Nehushtan.
And he did that, that was pleasant before the Lord, and he went by all the ways of David, his father; he bowed not, neither to the right side, nor of the left side.
Also he commanded to the people of them that dwelled in Jerusalem, to give parts to the priests and deacons [or Levites], that they might give attention to the law of the Lord.
From the world thou hast broken my yoke, thou hast broken my bonds, and saidest, I shall not serve. For thou whore didest whoredom in each high little hill, and under each tree full of boughs.
