2 Kings 23:16-20 Josiah turned and saw the tombs on the hill. He sent men to take the bones out of the tombs and burn them on the altar to make it unclean. This fulfilled the word of Jehovah announced by the man of God.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Josiah turned and saw the tombs on the hill. He sent men to take the bones out of the tombs and burn them on the altar to make it unclean. This fulfilled the word of Jehovah announced by the man of God. ¹⁷ »What is that headstone I see over there?« Josiah asked. The men of the town said: »It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah. The one who foretold all these things you have done to the altar of Bethel.« ¹⁸ He said: »Let him be. Do not move his bones.« So they let his bones be with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria. ¹⁹ Josiah removed all the houses of the high places the kings of Israel built in the towns of Samaria. This provoked Jehovah to anger and he did with them as he had done in Bethel. ²⁰ He killed all the priests of the high places on the altars. Their bones were burned on the altars. Then the king went back to Jerusalem.
