Commentary for II Kings 23:20
וַ֠יִּזְבַּח אֶת־כָּל־כֹּהֲנֵ֨י הַבָּמ֤וֹת אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם֙ עַל־הַֽמִּזְבְּח֔וֹת וַיִּשְׂרֹ֛ף אֶת־עַצְמ֥וֹת אָדָ֖ם עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וַיָּ֖שָׁב יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there, upon the altars, and burned men’s bones upon them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
Ralbag on II Kings
And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there, upon the altars: It would seem that there still remained there a few Israelites, as mentioned after this, and they still clung to their wickedness. And there were priests of the high places there and Josiah sacrificed them upon the altars and burned the bones of men upon the altars.
