He removed the high places and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the Asherah (i.e., wooden symbol of a female deity).

He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called (or, he called it) Nehushtan.
