2 Kings 21:6-9 ▼

6 He made his son pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and used divination, and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD provoking [Him to anger].

7 Then he set the carved image of Asherah that he had made, in the house of which the LORD said to David and to his son Solomon, |In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever.

8 |And I will not make the feet of Israel wander anymore from the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.|

9 But they did not listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do evil more than the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the sons of Israel.
