2 Kings 23:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ Those priests were not allowed to serve in the Temple, but they could eat the unleavened bread provided for their fellow priests.

^10 (A)King Josiah also desecrated Topheth, the pagan place of worship in Hinnom Valley, so that no one could sacrifice his son or daughter as a burnt offering to the god Molech. ¹¹ He also removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the worship of the sun, and he burned the chariots used in this worship. (These were kept in the temple courtyard, near the gate and not far from the living quarters of Nathan Melech, a high official.)
