And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the
 house of the Lord
 Which he had set there, ( 2 Chronicles 33:7 ) 
 and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the
 Lord, and in Jerusalem;
 see ( 2 Chronicles 33:4 2 Chronicles 33:5 ) , 
 and cast them out of the city;
 perhaps into the brook Kidron; all this he did to show the sincerity of his repentance for his idolatry, and his abhorrence of it.
