ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૨૩:૮
યોશિયાએ યહૂદિયાના નગરોમાંથી બધા યાજકોને બહાર કાઢી લાવીને ગેબાથી બેરશેબા સુધી જે ઉચ્ચસ્થાનોમાં તે યાજકોએ ધૂપ બાળ્યો હતો, તેઓને અશુદ્ધ કર્યાં. દરવાજા પાસેનાં જે ઉચ્ચસ્થાનો નગરના અધિકારી યહોશુઆના દરવાજાના પ્રવેશદ્વાર આગળ, એટલે નગરના દરવાજામાં પ્રવેશતાં ડાબી બાજુએ હતા, તેઓનો નાશ કર્યો.

उसने यहूदा के सब नगरों से याजकों को बुलवाकर गेबा से बेर्शेबा तक के उन ऊँचे स्थानों को, जहाँ उन याजकों ने धूप जलाया था, अशुद्ध कर दिया; और फाटकों के ऊँचे स्थान अर्थात् जो स्थान नगर के यहोशू नामक हाकिम के फाटक पर थे, और नगर के फाटक के भीतर जानेवाले के बाईं ओर थे, उनको उसने ढा दिया।
