4 ¶ He removed the ^ahigh places, and brake the ^bimages, and ^ccut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen ^dserpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

4a	2 Kgs. 21: 3. 3 For he built up again the ^ahigh places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a ^bgrove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the ^chost of heaven, and served them.
b	Isa. 26: 13. 13 O Lord our God, other ^alords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
c	Judg. 6: 25. 25 ¶ And it came to pass the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Take thy father’s young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of ^aBaal that thy father hath, and cut down the ^bgrove that is by it: 2 Kgs. 23: 14. 14 And he brake in pieces the images, and ^acut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
d	2 Ne. 25: 20. 20 And now, my brethren, I have spoken plainly that ye cannot err. And as the Lord God liveth that ^abrought Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and gave unto Moses power that he should ^bheal the nations after they had been bitten by the poisonous serpents, if they would cast their eyes unto the ^cserpent which he did raise up before them, and also gave him power that he should smite the ^drock and the water should come forth; yea, behold I say unto you, that as these things are ^etrue, and as the Lord God liveth, there is none other ^fname given under heaven save it be this Jesus Christ, of which I have spoken, whereby man can be saved.
