There is also evidence from archaeology that Hezekiah did not centralize the religion in Jerusalem. He allowed, and indeed built temples at Lachish and Arad , and allowed a high place to continue in operation at Beersheva . The reference in 2 Kings 18:4 that Hezekiah removed the high places ( bamot ), and broke down the pillars ( massebot ) and cut down the sacred poles ( asherah )," is dismissed by William G. Dever [9] to be "simply Deuteronomistic propaganda".
