2 Kings 21:2-9

2And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, aaccording to the despicable practices of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel. 3For he rebuilt the high places bthat Hezekiah his father had destroyed, and he erected altars for Baal and made can Asherah, das Ahab king of Israel had done, eand worshiped all the host of heaven and served them. 4 fAnd he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, g“In Jerusalem will I put my name.” 5And he built altars hfor all the host of heaven in ithe two courts of the house of the Lord. 6 jAnd he burned his son as an offering
Hebrew made his son pass through the fire
and lused fortune-telling and momens and dealt nwith mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger.
7And the carved image of oAsherah that he had made he set in the house of which the Lord said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, pand in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever. 8 qAnd I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander anymore out of the land that I gave to their fathers, if only they will be careful to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the Law that my servant Moses commanded them.” 9But they did not listen, and Manasseh led them astray to do more evil than the nations had done whom the Lord destroyed before the people of Israel.
