| II Chronicles 34:4
| And they broke down before him the altars of Baalim, and demolished the idols that had been set upon them: and he cut down the groves and the graven things, and broke them in pieces: and strewed the fragments upon the graves of them that had sacrificed to them.
| Idols. Hebrew chammanim, (Haydock) "statues of the sun." The term often denotes those open enclosures, where sacred fire was kept in honour of the sun. (Calmet) --- Septuagint, "the heights above them." Syriac, "he destroyed the altars, idols, tigers, and temples, (5) the bracelets, little bells, and all the trees which had been consecrated to idols." Arabic, "the altars, idols, and leopards."
