2 Chronicles 33:1-5 ▼

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

2 But he did evil in the sight of the LORD, like the repulsive acts of the [pagan] nations whom the LORD dispossessed before the sons (descendants) of Israel.

3 For he rebuilt the [idolatrous] high places which his father Hezekiah had torn down; and he set up altars for the Baals and made the Asherim, and worshiped all the host of heaven [the sun, the moon, stars and planets] and served them.

4 He built [pagan] altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”

5 He built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
