²⁵ Joshua said, “Why have you brought this trouble^(A) on us? The Lord will bring trouble on you today.”

Then all Israel stoned him,^(B) and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them.^(C)

¹² all their valiant men^(A) marched through the night to Beth Shan. They took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth Shan and went to Jabesh, where they burned^(B) them.

²⁰ Josiah slaughtered^(A) all the priests of those high places on the altars and burned human bones^(B) on them. Then he went back to Jerusalem.

2 This is what the Lord says:

¹⁰ And if the relative who comes to carry the bodies out of the house to burn them^[a](A) asks anyone who might be hiding there, “Is anyone else with you?” and he says, “No,” then he will go on to say, “Hush!^(B) We must not mention the name of the Lord.”
