Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
Now when all this was finished {H3615}, all Israel {H3478} that were present {H4672} went out {H3318} to the cities {H5892} of Judah {H3063}, and brake {H7665} the images {H4676} in pieces {H7665}, and cut down {H1438} the groves {H842}, and threw down {H5422} the high places {H1116} and the altars {H4196} out of all Judah {H3063} and Benjamin {H1144}, in Ephraim {H669} also and Manasseh {H4519}, until they had utterly destroyed {H3615} them all. Then all the children {H1121} of Israel {H3478} returned {H7725}, every man {H376} to his possession {H272}, into their own cities {H5892}.

Then all the people of Isra'el returned to their own cities, each to his own possession.
When all this had ended, the Israelites in attendance went out to the cities of Judah and broke up the sacred pillars, chopped down the Asherah poles, and tore down the high places and altars throughout Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the Israelites returned to their cities, each to his own property.
