2 Kings 21:2-9

2And he did evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, like the abominationsH8441 of the nationsH1471 that Jehovah had dispossessedH3423 from before the children of IsraelH3478.

3And he builtH1129 again the highH1116 placesH1116 that HezekiahH2396 his fatherH1 had destroyedH6; and he reared up altarsH4196 to 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, of which Jehovah had saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 will I putH7760 my nameH8034.

5And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 to all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in both courts of the houseH1004 of Jehovah.

6And he caused his sonH1121 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and used magic and divinationH5172, and appointed necromancers and soothsayers: he wrought evilH7451 beyond measure in the sight of Jehovah, to provokeH3707 him to angerH3707.

7And he setH7760 the graven imageH6459 of the AsherahH842 that he had madeH6213, in the houseH1004 of which Jehovah had 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 any moreH4480 cause the footH7272 of IsraelH3478 to wanderH5110 away from the landH127 that I gaveH5414 their fathersH1; if they will onlyH7535 takeH8104 heedH8104 to do according to all that I have commandedH6680 them, and according to all the lawH8451 that my servantH5650 MosesH4872 commandedH6680 them.

9But they would not hearken, and ManassehH4519 led them astrayH8582 to do moreH4480 evilH7451 than the nationsH1471 that Jehovah had destroyedH8045 from before the children of IsraelH3478.
