SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:20
Y mató sobre los altares a todos los sacerdotes de los altos que allí estaban, y quemó sobre ellos los huesos de los hombres, y se volvió a Jerusalén.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 23:20
Verse 20. Slew all the priests] The lives of these, as corrupters of the people, were forfeited to the law.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there , etc.] The idolatrous priests who sacrificed to Baal, and other Heathen deities; for as for others that burnt incense in high places, yet to the true God, those he spared, though they were not suffered to officiate at the altar of God: the others he slew upon the altars ; where they sacrificed: and burnt men’s bones upon them : the bones of the priests, and worshippers of idols, as he had done at Bethel: and returned to Jerusalem ; after he had gone through the land, both of Judah and Israel, and abolished idolatrous worship everywhere.
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.
