2 Kings 23:12Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingAlso the king destroyed the altars, that were on the roofs of the solar of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made; and the king destroyed the altars, which Manasseh had made in the two great places of the temple of the Lord; and he ran from thence, and scattered the ashes of those altars into the strand [or stream] of Kidron. See the chapter |
And the king commanded to Hilkiah, the bishop, and to the priests of the second order, and to the porters, that they should cast out of the temple [of the Lord] all the vessels, that were made to Baal, and in the maumet wood, and to all the knight-hood of heaven; and he burnt those vessels without or outside Jerusalem, in the even valley of Kidron, and he bare the powder of those vessels into Bethel.
But also he put down Maachah, the grandmother of Asa the king, that is, his own grandmother, from the strait empire, for she had made in a wood a simulacrum, or a likeness, of a man’s rod; and he all-brake that simulacrum, and pounded it into gobbets, and burnt it in the strand [or stream] of Kidron.
