In context — 2 Kings 23:12
And the king tore down the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz—the ones the kings of Judah had made—and the altars that Manasseh had built in the two courts of the house of the LORD . He broke them down from there and cast their dust into the Brook Kidron.
