2 Chronicles 34:3-7

[3] For in the eighth  year  of his reign,  while he was yet young,  he began  to seek  after the God  of David  his father:  and in the twelfth  year  he began  to purge  Judah  and Jerusalem  from the high places,  and the groves,  and the carved images,  and the molten images.  [4] And they brake down  the altars  of Baalim  in his presence;  and the images,  that were on high above them,  he cut down;  and the groves,  and the carved images,  and the molten images,  he brake in pieces,  and made dust  of them, and strowed  it upon  the graves  of them that had sacrificed  unto them. [5] And he burnt  the bones  of the priests  upon their altars,  and cleansed  Judah  and Jerusalem.  [6] And so did he in the cities  of Manasseh,  and Ephraim,  and Simeon,  even unto Naphtali,  with their mattocks  round about.  [7] And when he had broken down  the altars  and the groves,  and had beaten  the graven images  into powder,  and cut down  all the idols  throughout all the land  of Israel,  he returned  to Jerusalem.
