2 Kings 21:1-3

11Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Hephzibah.

22He did evil in the sight of the Lord, 3in accordance with the abominations of the nations whom the Lord 4dispossessed before the sons of Israel.

3For 5he rebuilt the high places which his father Hezekiah had destroyed; and 6he erected altars for Baal and made an 7Asherah, just as Ahab king of Israel had done, and he 8worshiped all the heavenly 9lights and served them.
