2 Chronicles 33:1-9

11Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. 22He did evil in the sight of the Lord according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord dispossessed before the sons of Israel. 3For 3he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; 4he also erected altars for the Baals and made 5Asherim, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them. 46He built altars in the house of the Lord of which the Lord had said, “My name shall be 7in Jerusalem forever.” 5For he built altars for all the host of heaven in 8the two courts of the house of the Lord. 69He made his sons pass through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom; and he practiced witchcraft, used divination, practiced sorcery and 10dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him to anger. 7Then he put 11the carved image of the idol which he had made in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, “12In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever; 8and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land 13which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them according to all the law, the statutes and the ordinances given through Moses.” 9Thus Manasseh misled Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the sons of Israel.
