Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 23:13:
- Kupsabiny: “The king also destroyed where one prayed at the east side of Jerusalem at the south end of the Mount of Olives. That was where Solomon had built the idol Ashtoreth which was like a woman (the detested one of Sidon). Chemosh (the detested one of Moab) and Milcom (the one of the people of Ammon.)” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Furthermore he defiled the places to do puja that King Solomon had built on the on the southern corner of on thehill of corruption, east of Jerusalem for doing puja to Asteroth, the detestable goddess of the Sidonians, for Chemosh, the detestable god of the Moabites, and for Molech, the detestable god of the Ammonites.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “He also defiled the places-of-worship in the high places in the east of Jerusalem and in the south of Mount of Wickedness. These places-of-worship had-been-built-up by King Solomon of Israel for Ashtoret, the detestable/abominable goddess of the Sidonhon, and for Kemosh, the detestable/abominable god of the Moabnon, and also for Molec, the detestable/abominable god of the Ammonhon.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “He also commanded that the altars that King Solomon had built east of Jerusalem, south of Olive Tree Hill, be desecrated. Solomon had built them for the worship of the disgusting idols—the statue of the goddess Astarte worshiped by the people in Sidon city, Chemosh the god of the Moab people-group, and Molech the god of the Ammon people-group.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
