4. The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out of The LORD's temple all the vessels that were made for BAAL, for the Asherah, and for all the army of the sky, and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.

5. He got rid of the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to BAAL, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the army of the sky.
