Listen to 2 Reis 23:12
12 Derrubou os altares que os seus antecessores haviam erguido no terraço, em cima do quarto superior de Acaz, e os altares que Manassés havia construído nos dois pátios do templo do SENHOR. Retirou-os dali, despedaçou-os e atirou o entulho no vale de Cedrom.

2 Reis 23:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 23:12

And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of
Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made
Which were on the roof of the royal palace; the roofs of houses in Judah being flat, ( Deuteronomy 21:8 ) altars might be built upon them; so, in Arabia, altars were built on the tops of houses to offer incense thereon daily to the sun F16; as here by Manasseh and Amon very probably, which might be chosen because nearer the heavens; for which reason the Heathens made use of high places to worship in, see ( Jeremiah 19:13 ) ( 32:29 ) ( Zephaniah 1:5 )

and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house
of the Lord;
( 2 Kings 21:5 )

did the king beat down;
ordered to be demolished:

and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the
brook Kidron;
that there might be no remains of them to be put to any superstitious use.

2 Reis 23:12 In-Context

10 Também profanou Tofete, que ficava no vale de Ben-Hinom, de modo que ninguém mais pudesse usá-lo para sacrificar seu filho ou sua filha a Moloque.
11 Acabou com os cavalos, que os reis de Judá tinham consagrado ao Sol, e que ficavam na entrada do templo do SENHOR, perto da sala de um oficial chamado Natã-Meleque. Também queimou as carruagens consagradas ao Sol.
12 Derrubou os altares que os seus antecessores haviam erguido no terraço, em cima do quarto superior de Acaz, e os altares que Manassés havia construído nos dois pátios do templo do SENHOR. Retirou-os dali, despedaçou-os e atirou o entulho no vale de Cedrom.
13 O rei também profanou os altares que ficavam a leste de Jerusalém, ao sul do monte da Destruição, os quais Salomão, rei de Israel, havia construído para Astarote, a detestável deusa dos sidônios, para Camos, o detestável deus de Moabe, e para Moloque, o detestável deus do povo de Amom.
14 Josias despedaçou as colunas sagradas, derrubou os postes sagrados e cobriu os locais com ossos humanos.
