2 Kings 21:2-7

2And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068, after the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471, whom YhwhH3068 cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

3For he built upH1129 againH7725 the high placesH1116 which HezekiahH2396 his fatherH1 had destroyedH6; and he reared upH6965 altarsH4196 for BaalH1168, and madeH6213 a groveH842, as didH6213 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478; and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 them.

4And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, of which YhwhH3068 saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 will I putH7760 my nameH8034.

5And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068.

6And he made his sonH1121 passH5674 through the fireH784, and observed timesH6049, and used enchantmentsH5172, and dealtH6213 with familiar spiritsH178 and wizardsH3049: he wroughtH6213 muchH7235 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.

7And he setH7760 a graven imageH6459 of the groveH842 that he had madeH6213 in the houseH1004, of which YhwhH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732, and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, In this houseH1004, and in JerusalemH3389, which I have chosenH977 out of all tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, will I putH7760 my nameH8034 for everH5769:
