2 Kings 21:5-7

5He built altars for 1all the heavenly 2lights in 3the two courtyards of the house of the Lord.

6And 4he made his son pass through the fire, 5interpreted signs, practiced divination, and used mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him to anger.

7Then 6he put the carved image of Asherah that he had made in the house of which the Lord had said to David and to his son Solomon, “7In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever.
