4 He also built altars in the LORD's Temple, about which the LORD had said, |In Jerusalem I will place my Name.|

5 He built two altars to every star in the heavens in the two courts of the LORD's Temple.

6 He made his son into a burnt offering, practiced witchcraft, used divination, and consorted with mediums and spirit-channelers. He practiced many things that the LORD considered to be evil and provoked him.

7 He also erected the carved image of Asherah that he had made inside the Temple about which the LORD had spoken to David and to his son Solomon, |I will put my Name forever in this Temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all of the tribes of Israel.
