2 Chronicles 34:3
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.
KJV
Octavo autem anno regni sui, cum adhuc esset puer, cœpit quærere Deum patris sui David : et duodecimo anno postquam regnare cœperat, mundavit Judam et Jerusalem ab excelsis, et lucis, simulacrisque et sculptilibus.
Vulgate
καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀγδόῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔτι παιδάριον, ἤρξατο τοῦ ζητῆσαι Κύριον τὸν θεὸν Δαυεὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐν τῷ δωδεκάτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ ἤρξατο τοῦ καθαρίσαι τὸν Ἰουδὰ καὶ τὴν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ τῶν ἄλσεων, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν χωνευτῶν·
LXX
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images.
