2 Kings 21:2-6

2He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, imitating the detestable practices of the nations that the Lord had dispossessed before the Israelites.

3He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed and reestablished the altars for Baal. He made an Asherah, as King Ahab of Israel had done; he also bowed in worship to all the stars in the sky and served them.

4He built altars in the Lord’s temple, where the Lord had said, “Jerusalem is where I will put my name.”

5He built altars to all the stars in the sky in both courtyards of the Lord’s temple.

6He sacrificed his son in the fire, practiced witchcraft and divination, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did a huge amount of evil in the Lord’s sight, angering him.
