2 Chronicles 33:1-6 ▼

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

2 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.

3 And he built again the high places that Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars to the Baals, and made Asherahs, and worshipped all the host of heaven and served them.

4 And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

5 And he built altars to all the host of heaven in both courts of the house of Jehovah.

6 He also caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he used magic and divination and sorcery, and appointed necromancers and soothsayers: he wrought evil beyond measure in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
