2 Chronicles 33:1-5 ▼

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

2 He did evil in the sight of the LORD and committed the same horrible sins practiced by the nations whom the LORD drove out ahead of the Israelites.

3 He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed; he set up altars for the Baals and made Asherah poles. He bowed down to all the stars in the sky and worshiped them.

4 He built altars in the LORD's temple, about which the LORD had said, |Jerusalem will be my permanent home.|

5 In the two courtyards of the LORD's temple he built altars for all the stars in the sky.
