2 Kings 23:16 in Context — 2 Kings 23
14 E quebrou as estátuas, e arrancou os bosques, e encheu o lugar deles de ossos de homens.
15 Igualmente o altar que estava em Betel, e o alto que havia feito Jeroboão filho de Nebate, o que fez pecar a Israel, aquele altar e o alto destruiu; e queimou o alto, e o tornou em pó, e pôs fogo ao bosque.
16 E voltou-se Josias, e vendo os sepulcros que estavam ali no monte, enviou e tirou os ossos dos sepulcros, e queimou-os sobre o altar para contaminá-lo, conforme à palavra do SENHOR que havia profetizado o homem de Deus, o qual havia anunciado estes negócios.
17 E depois disse: Que monumento é este que vejo? E os da cidade lhe responderam: Este é o sepulcro do homem de Deus que veio de Judá, e profetizou estas coisas que tu fizeste sobre o altar de Betel.
18 E ele disse: Deixai-o; ninguém mova seus ossos: e assim foram preservados seus ossos, e os ossos do profeta que havia vindo de Samaria.
