Men - Of the idolatrous priests, which he caused to be taken out of their graves, Kg2 23:18. As he carried the ashes of the images to the graves, to mingle them with dead mens bones, so he carried dead mens bones to the places where the images had been, that both ways idolatry might be rendered loathsome. Dead men and dead gods were indeed much alike, and fittest to go together. 4 Kings (2 Kings) 23:15
