2 Kings 21:4-6

4He built altars in the Lord’s temple, about which the Lord had said, “Jerusalem will be my home.”

5In the two courtyards of the Lord’s temple he built altars for all the stars in the sky.

6He passed his son through the fire and practiced divination and omen reading. He set up a ritual pit to conjure up underworld spirits, and appointed magicians to supervise it. He did a great amount of evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger.
