2 Kings 21:2-9

[2] And he did  that which was evil  in the sight  of the LORD,  after the abominations  of the heathen,  whom the LORD  cast out  before  the children  of Israel.  [3] For he built up  again  the high places  which Hezekiah  his father  had destroyed;  and he reared up  altars  for Baal,  and made  a grove,  as did  Ahab  king  of Israel;  and worshipped  all the host  of heaven,  and served  [4] And he built  altars  in the house  of the LORD,  said,  In Jerusalem  will I put  my name.  [5] And he built  altars  for all the host  of heaven  in the two  courts  of the house  of the LORD.  [6] And he made his son  pass  through the fire,  and observed times,  and used enchantments,  and dealt  with familiar spirits  and wizards:  he wrought  much  wickedness  in the sight  of the LORD,  to provoke him to anger.  [7] And he set  a graven image  of the grove  that he had made  in the house,  of which the LORD  said  to David,  and to Solomon  his son,  In this house,  and in Jerusalem,  which I have chosen  out of all tribes  of Israel,  will I put  my name  for ever:  [8] Neither will I make the feet  of Israel  move  any more  out of the land  which I gave  their fathers;  only if they will observe  to do  according to all that I have commanded  them, and according to all the law  that my servant  Moses  commanded  [9] But they hearkened  not: and Manasseh  seduced  them to do  more evil  than did the nations  whom the LORD  destroyed  before  the children  of Israel.
