2 Kings 23:7 in Context — 2 Kings 23
5 E tirou aos sacerdotes pagãos, que haviam posto os reis de Judá para que queimassem incenso nos altos nas cidades de Judá, e nos arredores de Jerusalém; e também aos que queimavam incenso a Baal, ao sol e à lua, e às constelações, e a todo o exército do céu.
6 Fez também tirar o bosque fora da casa do SENHOR, fora de Jerusalém, ao ribeiro de Cedrom, e queimou-o no ribeiro de Cedrom, e tornou-o em pó, e lançou o pó dele sobre os sepulcros dos filhos do povo.
7 Além disso derrubou as casas dos sodomitas que estavam na casa do SENHOR, nas quais teciam as mulheres tendas para o bosque.
8 E fez vir todos os sacerdotes das cidades de Judá, e profanou os altos de onde os sacerdotes queimavam incenso, desde Gibeá até Berseba; e derrubou os altares das portas que estavam à entrada da porta de Josué, governador da cidade, que estavam à esquerda da porta da cidade.
9 Porém os sacerdotes dos altos não subiam ao altar do SENHOR em Jerusalém, mas comiam pães sem levedura entre seus irmãos.
