2 Chronicles 33:2-9 ▼

2 And he did evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to the abominations of the nations whom YHWH had cast out before the sons of Israel.

3 And he turned and built the high places that his father Hezekiah had broken down, and he raised up altars for the Baals, and he made Asherah poles, and he worshiped all the host of the heavens and served them.

4 And He built altars in the house of YHWH, of which YHWH had said, “In Jerusalem shall be My name forever.”

5 And he built altars for all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of YHWH.

6 And he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom. And he practiced sorcery, and used divination, and practiced witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spirists. He multiplied to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to provoke Him to anger.

7 And he set up a carved image of the idol that he made in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever;

8 and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land that I have appointed for your? fathers, only if they are careful to do all that I have commanded them according to all the law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.”

9 And Manasseh seduced Judah and those dwelling in Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom YHWH had destroyed before the sons of Israel.
