When all this had ended, the Israelites who were there went out to the towns of Judah, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. They destroyed the high places and the altars throughout Judah and Benjamin and in Ephraim and Manasseh. After they had destroyed all of them, the Israelites returned to their own towns and to their own property.

The Passover Feast came to an end. The people of Israel who were in Jerusalem went out to the towns of Judah. They smashed the sacred stones. They cut down the poles used to worship the female god named Asherah. They destroyed the high places and the altars. They did those things all through Judah and Benjamin. They also did them in Ephraim and Manasseh. They destroyed all the objects used to worship other gods. Then the Israelites returned to their own towns and property.

Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke in pieces the pillars and cut down the Asherim and broke down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned to their cities, every man to his possession.

When all this was completed, all Israel who had attended went out to the cities of Judah and broke up the sacred pillars, chopped down the Asherah poles, and tore down the high places and altars throughout Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, to the last one. Then all the Israelites returned to their cities, each to his own possession.

Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah, broke the memorial stones in pieces, cut down the Asherim and pulled down the high places and the altars throughout Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the sons of Israel returned to their cities, each to his possession.

Then all the children of Israel returned to their own cities, every man to his possession.

他废去丘坛，毁坏柱像，砍下亚舍拉，打碎摩西所造的铜蛇，因为到那时以色列人仍向铜蛇烧香。人叫铜蛇为尼忽士但。

希西家岂不是将耶和华的丘坛和祭坛废去，并且吩咐犹大与耶路撒冷的人说：你们当在一个坛前敬拜，在其上烧香吗？

“你当去召集书珊所有的犹太人，为我禁食三昼三夜，不吃不喝；我和我的宫女也要这样禁食。然后我违例去晋见王，我若死就死吧！”

他作王第八年，尚且年轻，就寻求他祖先大卫的上帝。到了十二年，他开始洁净犹大和耶路撒冷，除掉丘坛、亚舍拉、雕刻的像和铸造的像。众人在他面前拆毁诸巴力的坛，砍断坛上高高的香坛，又把亚舍拉和雕刻的像，以及铸造的像打碎成灰，撒在向偶像献祭之人的坟上，把祭司的骸骨烧在他们的坛上，洁净了犹大和耶路撒冷。他又在玛拿西、以法莲、西缅、拿弗他利各城和四围的废墟，拆毁祭坛，把亚舍拉和雕刻的像打碎成灰，砍断以色列全地所有的香坛。于是他回耶路撒冷去了。

天亮了，天使催逼罗得说：“起来！带着你的妻子和你这里的两个女儿出去，免得你因这城的罪孽同被剿灭。”

他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，只是不像在他以前的以色列诸王。

王和犹大众人、耶路撒冷的居民、祭司、先知，以及所有的百姓，无论大小，都一同上到耶和华的殿去；王把耶和华殿里所发现的约书上一切的话读给他们听。王站在柱子旁边，在耶和华面前立约，要尽心尽性跟从耶和华，遵守他的诫命、法度、律例，实行这书上所写这约的话。全体百姓都愿遵守所立的约。王吩咐希勒家大祭司和副祭司，以及把守殿门的，把那些为巴力和亚舍拉，以及天上万象所造的器皿，都从耶和华殿里搬出来，在耶路撒冷外汲沦的田间烧了，把灰拿到伯特利去。从前犹大列王所立拜偶像的祭司，在犹大城镇的丘坛和耶路撒冷周围烧香，现在王都废去，他们是向巴力和日、月、行星，以及天上万象烧香的人。他把亚舍拉从耶和华殿里搬到耶路撒冷外的汲沦溪，在汲沦溪边焚烧，打碎成灰，把灰撒在平民的坟上。他又拆毁耶和华殿里男的庙妓的屋子，就是妇女在那里为亚舍拉编织衣服的屋子。他从犹大的城镇将众祭司带来，从迦巴直到别是巴，玷污祭司烧香的丘坛。他又拆毁城门旁的丘坛，这丘坛是在约书亚市长的城门前，在人进城门的左边。只是丘坛的祭司不登耶路撒冷耶和华的坛，仅在他们弟兄中间吃无酵饼。他又玷污欣嫩子谷的陀斐特，不许人在那里使儿女经火献给摩洛。他把在耶和华殿门旁、靠近拿单‧米勒官员走廊的屋子，犹大列王献给太阳的马废去，且用火焚烧献给太阳的战车。犹大列王在亚哈斯楼房顶上所筑的坛和玛拿西在耶和华殿两院中所筑的坛，王都拆毁，从那里移走，把灰倒在汲沦溪中。从前以色列王所罗门在耶路撒冷东边、邪僻山南边为西顿人可憎的亚斯她录、摩押人可憎的基抹、亚扪人可憎的米勒公所筑的丘坛，王都玷污了，又打碎柱像，砍下亚舍拉，用人的骨头填满那地方。此外，在伯特利丘坛的坛，就是尼八的儿子耶罗波安所筑、使以色列人陷入罪里的，他也把这坛和丘坛都拆毁了，又焚烧丘坛，打碎成灰，并焚烧了亚舍拉。约西亚转头，看见山上的坟墓，就派人取出坟墓里的骸骨，烧在坛上，玷污了坛，正如从前耶罗波安在节期中站在坛旁时，耶和华藉神人所宣告的话。约西亚转头看见了宣告这些话的神人的坟墓。他说：“我看见的这碑是什么呢？”那城里的人对他说：“这是神人的坟墓，他从犹大来，宣告了王向伯特利的坛所做的这些事。”约西亚说：“让他安息吧！不要挪移他的骸骨。”他们就保存了他的骸骨和从撒玛利亚来的那先知的骸骨。从前以色列诸王在撒玛利亚的城镇所建一切惹动怒气的丘坛的庙，约西亚也都废去了，正如他在伯特利所做的。他又把在那里所有丘坛的祭司都杀在坛上，并在坛上烧人的骨头。于是他回耶路撒冷去了。

你不可跪拜事奉他们的神明，也不可随从他们的习俗，却要彻底废除，完全打碎他们的柱像。

希西家派人去见以色列和犹大众人，又写信给以法莲和玛拿西人，要他们到耶路撒冷耶和华的殿，向耶和华—以色列的上帝守逾越节，因为王和众领袖，以及耶路撒冷全会众已经商议，要在二月份守逾越节。那时他们不能守，因为分别为圣的祭司不够，百姓也还没有聚集在耶路撒冷。这事在王与全会众眼中都看为合宜。于是他们下令，通告全以色列，从别是巴直到但，吩咐百姓都来，在耶路撒冷向耶和华—以色列的上帝守逾越节，因为他们已经许久没有照所写的守这节了。信差遵着王命，拿着王和众领袖所发的信，送达全以色列和犹大，说：“以色列人哪，当转向耶和华—亚伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的上帝，好叫他转向你们这些脱离亚述诸王之手的余民。不要效法你们的祖先和你们的弟兄；他们干犯耶和华—他们列祖的上帝，以致耶和华使他们令人惊骇，正如你们所见的。现在，不要像你们祖先硬着颈项，只要归顺耶和华，进入他的圣所，就是永远成圣的居所，又要事奉耶和华—你们的上帝，好使他的烈怒转离你们。你们若转向耶和华，你们的弟兄和儿女必在掳掠他们的人面前蒙怜悯，得以归回这地，因为耶和华—你们的上帝有恩惠，有怜悯。你们若转向他，他必不会转脸不顾你们。”信差从这城跑到那城，传遍了以法莲和玛拿西之地，直到西布伦；那里的人却戏笑他们，讥诮他们。然而亚设、玛拿西、西布伦中也有人谦卑自己，来到耶路撒冷。上帝也按手在犹大人身上，使他们一心遵行王与众领袖照着耶和华的话所发的命令。二月时，许多百姓聚集在耶路撒冷，成为一个盛大的会，要守除酵节。他们起来，把耶路撒冷的祭坛和烧香的坛尽都除去，扔在汲沦溪中。二月十四日，他们宰了逾越节的羔羊。祭司与利未人觉得惭愧，就使自己分别为圣，把燔祭奉到耶和华的殿中。他们遵照神人摩西的律法，按定例站在自己的地方；祭司从利未人手里接过血来，洒出去。会众中有许多人尚未分别为圣，所以利未人为所有不洁的人宰逾越节的羔羊，使他们归耶和华为圣。从以法莲、玛拿西、以萨迦、西布伦来的许多百姓尚未自洁，他们却吃逾越节的羔羊，不合所写的条例。希西家为他们祷告说：“求至善的耶和华饶恕那凡专心寻求上帝耶和华—他列祖的上帝，却未照圣所洁净礼自洁的人。”耶和华应允希西家，医治了百姓。在耶路撒冷的以色列人守除酵节七日，大大喜乐。利未人和祭司为耶和华演奏响亮的乐器，天天颂赞耶和华。希西家慰劳所有精通礼仪，事奉耶和华的利未人。于是众人吃节期的筵席七日，又献平安祭，并且称谢耶和华—他们列祖的上帝。全会众商议，要再守节七日；于是他们欢欢喜喜地又守节七日。犹大王希西家赐给会众一千头公牛、七千只羊；众领袖也赐给会众一千头公牛、一万只羊，并有许多祭司将自己分别为圣。犹大全会众、祭司、利未人和从以色列来的全会众，以及那些从以色列地来的和住在犹大的寄居的人，尽都喜乐。这样，在耶路撒冷大有喜乐，因自从以色列王大卫的儿子所罗门以来，在耶路撒冷从未有过这样的喜乐。那时，祭司和利未人起来，为百姓祝福。他们的声音蒙上帝垂听，他们的祷告达到他天上的圣所。

除掉外邦的祭坛和丘坛，打碎柱像，砍下亚舍拉，

于是，耶和华降下火来，烧尽燔祭、木柴、石头、尘土，又烧干了沟里的水。众百姓看见了，就脸伏于地，说：“耶和华是上帝！耶和华是上帝！”以利亚对他们说：“拿住巴力的先知，不让任何人逃走！”众人就拿住他们。以利亚带他们到基顺河边，在那里杀了他们。

于是众百姓到巴力庙去，拆毁了庙，打碎祭坛和偶像，又在坛前把巴力的祭司玛坦杀了。

你们却要这样处置他们：拆毁他们的祭坛，打碎他们的柱像，砍断他们的亚舍拉，用火焚烧他们雕刻的偶像。
