2 Kings 21:3-9

3For he builtH1129 again the highH1116 placesH1116 which HezekiahH2396 his fatherH1 had destroyedH6; and he reared up altarsH4196 for BaalH1168, and madeH6213 an AsherahH842, as did AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and worshipped all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 them. 4And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, whereof Jehovah saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 will I putH7760 my nameH8034. 5And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in the twoH8147 courts of the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 6And he madeH6213 his sonH1121 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and practised augury, and used enchantments, and dealt with them that had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he wrought muchH7235 evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, to provokeH3707 him to angerH3707. 7And he setH7760 the graven imageH6459 of AsherahH842, that he had madeH6213, in the houseH1004 of which Jehovah saidH559 to DavidH1732 and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, In this houseH1004, and in JerusalemH3389, which I have chosenH977 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, will I putH7760 my nameH8034 for everH5769; 8neither will I cause the feetH7272 of IsraelH3478 to wanderH5110 any moreH4480 out of the landH127 which I gaveH5414 their fathersH1, if onlyH7535 they will observeH8104 to do according to all that I have commandedH6680 them, and according to all the lawH8451 that my servantH5650 MosesH4872 commandedH6680 them. 9But they hearkened not: and ManassehH4519 seduced them to do that which is evilH7451 moreH4480 than did the nationsH1471 whom Jehovah destroyedH8045 before the children of IsraelH3478.
