2 Kings 23:7-9

The Voice

⁷ He destroyed the houses of cult prostitutes next to the house of the Eternal, where women were weaving hangings for the sacred pole. ⁸ He assembled in Jerusalem all of Judah’s priests and destroyed the high places from Geba to Beersheba where they had burned incense. He tore down the high places of the gates located on the left side of the city gates near the gate of Joshua, who was governor of Jerusalem.

⁹ The corrupted priests of the high places did not approach the Eternal’s altar in Jerusalem, but they filled their bellies with unleavened bread in the company of their families, since they would not travel to Jerusalem to perform their religious duties.
