2 Kings 23:20

Josiah Destroys Idolatry

19Just as Josiah had done at Bethel, so also in the cities of Samaria he removed all the shrines of the high places set up by the kings of Israel who had provoked the LORD to anger.20On the altars he slaughtered all the priests of the high places, and he burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
