SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:15

Asimismo el altar que estaba en Bet-el, y el alto que había hecho Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, el que hizo pecar a Israel, aquel altar y el alto destruyó; y quemó el alto, y tornó el altar en polvo, y puso fuego al bosque.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 15. Moreover, the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made .] For the worship of the calf there: both that altar, and the high place, he brake down ; according to an ancient prophecy of the man of God, ( 1 Kings 13:3) and of Amos in later times, ( Amos 9:1) and burnt the high place, and stamped it small to powder ; that there might be no remains of it: and burnt the grove ; either the grove of trees on it, or the idol that was in it.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15-24 - Josiah's zeal extended to the cities of Israel within his reach. He carefully preserved the sepulchre of that man of God, who came from Judah to foretell the throwing down of Jeroboam's altar. When they ha cleared the country of the old leaven of idolatry, then they applie themselves to the keeping of the feast. There was not holden such passover in any of the foregoing reigns. The revival of long-neglected ordinance, filled them with holy joy; and God recompensed their zeal in destroying idolatry with uncommon tokens of his presence and favour. We have reason to think that during the remainder of Josiah's reign, religion flourished.
