1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hephzibah. 2 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. 3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them. 4 He built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, |I will put my name in Jerusalem.| 5 He built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. 2 Kings 21:1-5, New Heart English Bible.
