2 Chronicles 33:1-5 ▼

1 Manasseh began to reign at the age of twelve years, and continued to reign for 55 years in Jerusalem.

2 But he practiced what the LORD considered to be evil by behaving detestably, as did the nations whom the LORD expelled in front of the Israelis.

3 He re-established the high places that his father Hezekiah had demolished, he built altars to the Baals, erected Asherim, and worshipped and served the armies of heaven.

4 He also built altars in the LORD's Temple, about which the LORD had spoken |My name will reside in Jerusalem forever.|

5 He built altars for all the armies of heaven in the two courtyards of the LORD's Temple.
