He pulverized those things completely and then he went to throw the pieces in the (dry) valley of Kidron.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “He tore down the altars that the kings of Judah had built on the roof terrace of the house of king Ahaz near his upper room, and the altars that Manasseh had built in the two courtyards of the LORD’s temple — reducing those altars to dust he threw them away in the Kidron valley.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “He caused-to-be-destroyed the altars that were-built-up by the kings of Juda on the flat roof of the upper room of Ahaz, including the altars that Manase caused-to-be-built in the two yards/courtyards of the temple of the LORD.

He commanded that they be smashed to pieces and thrown down into the Kidron Valley.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
