* For in the eighth year of his reign , while he was yet young na #ar #, he began to seek after the God of David his father : and in the twelfth sh @nayim # year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places , and the groves , and the carved images , and the molten images . * And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence ; and the images , that were on high above them ma #al #, he cut down ; and the groves , and the carved images , and the molten images , he brake in pieces , and made dust of them , and strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them . * And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars , and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem . * And so did he in the cities of Manasseh , and Ephraim , and Simeon Shim #own #, even unto Naphtali , with their mattocks round about . * And when he had broken down the altars and the groves , and had beaten the graven images into powder , and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel Yisra #el #, he returned to Jerusalem . * Now in the eighteenth sh @moneh # year of his reign , when he had purged the land , and the house , he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah , and Maaseiah the governor of the city , and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder , to repair the house of the LORD his God .
