2 Kings 21:1-5 ▼

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.

2 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.

3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.

4 He built altars in Yahweh’s house, of which Yahweh said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”

5 He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of Yahweh’s house.
