2 Kings 23:9-11
New King James Version
9 (A)Nevertheless the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, (B)but they ate unleavened bread among their brethren.
10 And he defiled (C)Topheth, which is in (D)the Valley of the [a]Son of Hinnom, (E)that no man might make his son or his daughter (F)pass through the fire to Molech. 11 Then he removed the horses that the kings of Judah had [b]dedicated to the sun, at the entrance to the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech, the officer who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

2 Kings 23:9-11
New International Version
9 Although the priests of the high places did not serve(A) at the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, they ate unleavened bread with their fellow priests.
10 He desecrated Topheth,(B) which was in the Valley of Ben Hinnom,(C) so no one could use it to sacrifice their son(D) or daughter in the fire to Molek. 11 He removed from the entrance to the temple of the Lord the horses that the kings of Judah(E) had dedicated to the sun. They were in the court[a] near the room of an official named Nathan-Melek. Josiah then burned the chariots dedicated to the sun.(F)
