2 Chronicles 33:3-7 ▼

3 He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed; he set up altars for the Baals and made Asherah poles. He bowed down to all the stars in the sky and worshiped them.

4 He built altars in the LORD's temple, about which the LORD had said, |Jerusalem will be my permanent home.|

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

6 He passed his sons through the fire in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom and practiced divination, omen reading, and sorcery. 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 and angered him.

7 He put an idolatrous image he had made in God's temple, about which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, |This temple in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will be my permanent home.
