15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, the high place that Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he broke down; and burned the high place, stamped it small to powder, and burned the Asherah.

Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 15. Also he destroys in himself the evil which belongs to the corrupted understanding, with its false worship from the abuse of the knowledges of good and truth, by the institution of external worship separate from internal, disclosing that it is nothing but infernal self-love and the condemned falsity thence derived, and that thus, too, its faith, being void of charity, is but a form of self-love.
