2 Kings 23:15-17
New King James Version
15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the [a]high place (A)which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and crushed it to powder, and burned the wooden image. 16 As Josiah turned, he saw the tombs that were there on the mountain. And he sent and took the bones out of the tombs and burned them on the altar, and defiled it according to the (B)word of the Lord which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words. 17 Then he said, “What gravestone is this that I see?”
So the men of the city told him, “It is (C)the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things which you have done against the altar of Bethel.”
