Exegesis
The construct beit-habba‘al {בֵּית־הַבַּעַל | bêyt ha-Ba‘al} situates the destruction at Baal’s shrine, while the object marker et {אֶת | ’et} marks each target—mizbechotav {מִזְבְּחֹתָיו | miz-be-ḥō-ṯāw} and tzelamav {צְלָמָיו | tze-lā-māw}—underscoring total eradication of Baal’s cult.
In context — 2 Chronicles 23:17
All the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down; they smashed his altars and his images , and they killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars.
