Chapter 23
2
And the king went up to the house of the
Lord
and every man of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, the prophets, and all the people, from the small to the great; and he read in their presence all the words of the Book of the Covenant which was found in the house of the
Lord
.
3
And the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the
Lord
, to walk after the
Lord
, and to keep His commandments, His provisions, and His statutes with all
his
heart and all
his
soul, to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people entered into the covenant.
4
Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers to bring out of the temple of the
Lord
all the utensils that had been made for Baal, for Asherah, and for all the heavenly lights; and he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron
Valley,
and carried their ashes to Bethel.

Chapter 23
2
Then the king went to the
Lord
’s temple with all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, as well as the priests and the prophets—all the people from the youngest to the oldest. He read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant that had been found in the
Lord
’s temple.
3
Next, the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant in the
Lord
’s presence to follow the
Lord
and to keep his commands, his decrees, and his statutes with all his heart and with all his soul in order to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book; all the people agreed to the covenant.
4
Then the king commanded the high priest Hilkiah and the priests of the second rank and the doorkeepers to bring out of the
Lord
’s sanctuary all the articles made for Baal, Asherah, and all the stars in the sky. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron and carried their ashes to Bethel.
New Living Translation
Chapter 23
2
And the king went up to the Temple of the
Lord
with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, along with the priests and the prophets — all the people from the least to the greatest. There the king read to them the entire Book of the Covenant that had been found in the
Lord
’s Temple.
3
The king took his place of authority beside the pillar and renewed the covenant in the
Lord
’s presence. He pledged to obey the
Lord
by keeping all his commands, laws, and decrees with all his heart and soul. In this way, he confirmed all the terms of the covenant that were written in the scroll, and all the people pledged themselves to the covenant.
4
Then the king instructed Hilkiah the high priest and the priests of the second rank and the Temple gatekeepers to remove from the
Lord
’s Temple all the articles that were used to worship Baal, Asherah, and all the powers of the heavens. The king had all these things burned outside Jerusalem on the terraces of the Kidron Valley, and he carried the ashes away to Bethel.
