Calf: Altars of, Destroyed

Source: Nav

2 Kings 23:4, 15–20 Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests second in rank, and the doorkeepers to remove from the temple of the LORD all the articles made for Baal, Asherah, and all the host of heaven. And he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron and carried their ashes to Bethel. / He even pulled down the altar at Bethel, the high place set up by Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin. Then he burned the high place, ground it to powder, and burned the Asherah pole. / On the altars he slaughtered all the priests of the high places, and he burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
