*
For in the eighth year of his reign ,
while he was still young ,
he began to seek the God of his father David ;
and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places ,
the wooden images ,
the carved images ,
and the molded images .
*
They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence ,
and the incense altars which were above them he cut down ;
and the wooden images ,
the carved images ,
and the molded images he broke in pieces ,
and made dust of them and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them .
*
He also burned the bones of the priests on their altars ,
and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem .
*
And so he did in the cities of Manasseh ,
Ephraim ,
and Simeon ,
as far as Naphtali and all around ,
with axes .
*
When he had broken down the altars and the wooden images ,
had beaten the carved images into powder ,
and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel ,
he returned to Jerusalem .
*
In the eighteenth year of his reign ,
when he had purged the land and the temple ,
he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah ,
Maaseiah the governor of the city ,
and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder ,
to repair the house of the LORD his God .
