3 In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still a youth, he began to seek the Lord the God of his father David. And in the twelfth year of his reign, he began to cleanse Juda and Jerusalem, from the high places and the bowers, and from their processions around altars, and from the molten images.
4 And having caused to be torn down in his presence, the altars of the Baalims, and the high things which were on them, he cut down the bowers, and broke in pieces the graven and the molten images. And having beaten them to dust, he strewed it over the graves of them who had sacrificed to them,
5 and burned the bones of the priests on the altars. And when he had cleansed Juda and Jerusalem,
6 he proceeded on through the cities of Manasses, and Ephraim, and Symeon, and Nephthaleim, and the places around them,
7 and tore down the altars, and the bowers, and chopped to pieces the idols. And having demolished all the high places in all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
