2 Kings 21:1-5 ▼

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Hephzibah.

2 And he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh dispossessed before the sons of Israel.

3 Indeed, he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he erected altars for Baal and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel had done, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.

4 And he built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My name.”

5 Indeed, he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of Yahweh.
