15 He also tore down the altar in Bethʹel, the high place that Jer·o·boʹam the son of Neʹbat had made that caused Israel to sin.+ After tearing down that altar and the high place, he burned the high place, ground it to dust, and burned the sacred pole.*+

19 Jo·siʹah also removed all the houses of worship on the high places that were in the cities of Sa·marʹi·a,+ which the kings of Israel had built to offend God, and he did the same thing to them that he had done at Bethʹel.+
