KJV - 2 Kings 23:5
And he put down 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 round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
He removed the priests who worshiped false gods, as the kings of Judah had appointed them to burn incense in high places in Judah's cities and nearby areas. He also got rid of those who burned incense to Baal, the sun, the moon, planets, and all the stars in the sky.
