2 Kings 23:13 in Context — 2 Kings 23

11 Quitó también los caballos que los reyes de Judá habían dedicado al sol á la entrada del templo de Jehová, junto á la cámara de Nathan-melech eunuco, el cual tenía cargo de los ejidos; y quemó al fuego los carros del sol.

12 Derribó además el rey los altares que estaban sobre la techumbre de la sala de Achâz, que los reyes de Judá habían hecho, y los altares que había hecho Manasés en los dos atrios de la casa de Jehová; y de allí corrió y arrojó el polvo en el torrente de Cedrón.

13 Asimismo profanó el rey los altos que estaban delante de Jerusalem, á la mano derecha del monte de la destrucción, los cuales Salomón rey de Israel había edificado á Astharoth, abominación de los Sidonios, y á Chêmos abominación de Moab, y á Milcom abominación de los hijos de Ammón.

14 Y quebró las estatuas, y taló los bosques, é hinchió el lugar de ellos de huesos de hombres.

15 Igualmente el altar que estaba en Beth-el, y el alto que había hecho Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, el que hizo pecar á Israel, aquel altar y el alto destruyó; y quemó el alto, y lo tornó en polvo, y puso fuego al bosque.
