2 Chronicles 34:4

Of Baalim. — Of the Baals. 2 Kings 23:4, “the Baal.”

In his presence. — Comp. 2 Kings 23:16, from which it appears that Josiah personally superintended the work of demolition.

The images. — Sun statues (2 Chronicles 14:4).

That were on high above them, he cut down. — Or, that were above, from off them he hewed.

The molten images. — Rather, the maççebuth, or sacred pillars. (See 2 Kings 23:14.)

Made dust of them. — 2 Kings 23:6 (of an Asherah).

And showed... unto them. — Literally, and sprinkled upon the face of the graves that used to sacrifice unto them, as if the graves were guilty. 2 Kings 23:6 relates this of the temple Asherah only.
