2 Chronicles 34:2-4

New English Translation

² He did what the Lord approved^[a] and followed in his ancestor David’s footsteps;^[b] he did not deviate to the right or the left.

³ In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his ancestor^[c] David. In his twelfth year he began ridding^[d] Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, Asherah poles, idols, and images. ⁴ He ordered the altars of the Baals to be torn down,^[e] and broke the incense altars that were above them. He smashed the Asherah poles, idols, and images, crushed them, and sprinkled the dust over the tombs of those who had sacrificed to them.
