The king commands the vessels made for Baal to be brought out and burns them in the fields of the Kidron, and burns the Asherah at the brook Kidron

왕이 명하여 바알을 위하여 만든 기명을 기드론 밭에서 불사르게 하고 아세라 상을 기드론 시내에서 불사름

2 Kings 23:4–7: the king commands 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 burns them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carries their ashes to Bethel. He gets 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, to the moon, to the planets, and to all the army of the sky. He brings out the Asherah from the LORD’s house, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burns it at the brook Kidron, and beats it to dust, and casts its dust on the graves of the common people. He breaks down the houses of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the LORD’s house, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah. At 23:4 the Korean Revised Version has the king command them to bring the vessels out, burn them and carry the ashes to Bethel (명하여 … 불사르고 그 재를 벧엘로 가져가게 하고), where WEB has the king burn them and carry the ashes; it names no one at 23:5–7, and reads 열두 궁성 where WEB reads “the planets” (23:5).
