*
And the king sent ,
and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem .
*
And the king went up into the house of the LORD ,
and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him ,
and the priests ,
and the prophets ,
and all the people ,
both small and great :
and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD .
*
And the king stood by a pillar ,
and made a covenant before the LORD ,
to walk after the LORD ,
and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul ,
to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book .
And all the people stood to the covenant .
*
And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest ,
and the priests of the second order ,
and the keepers of the door ,
to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal ,
and for the grove ,
and for all the host of heaven :
and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron ,
and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel .
*
And he put down the idolatrous priests ,
whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah ,
and in the places round about Jerusalem ;
them also that burned incense unto Baal ,
to the sun ,
and to the moon ,
and to the planets ,
and to all the host of heaven .
*
And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD ,
without Jerusalem ,
unto the brook Kidron ,
and burned it at the brook Kidron ,
and stamped it small to powder ,
and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people .
