And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to bring out of the temple of Jehovah all the articles that were made for Baal, for the grove, and for all the host of the heavens; and he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.

And he brought out the grove from the house of Jehovah, to the Brook Kidron outside Jerusalem, burned it at the Brook Kidron and pulverized the ashes, and threw its ashes on the graves of the sons of the people.

And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone and a row of cedar beams.

The great court was of three rows of hewn stones and a row of cedar beams. So were the inner court of the house of Jehovah and the porch of the house.

And he built altars for all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Jehovah.

He took away the foreign gods and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem; and he cast them out of the city.

Then he brought me to the inner court through the southern gate; and he measured the southern gate according to these same measurements.

And he brought me into the inner court facing east; he measured the gate according to these same measurements.

Its pillars faced the outer court, palm trees were on its pillars on this side and on that side, and going up to it were eight steps.

And he measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, foursquare. And the altar was in front of the house.

Opposite the inner court of twenty cubits, and opposite the pavement of the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.

And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.

And when they go out to the outer court, to the outer court to the people, they shall take off their garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the holy rooms, and put on other garments; and in their own garments they shall not consecrate the people.
