2 Chronicles 33:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ Manasseh carved an idol and put it in the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of God. God had said to David and his son Solomon about the ·Temple [^Lhouse], “I will ·be worshiped [^Lput my name] forever in this ·Temple [^Lhouse] and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel. ⁸ I will never again make the ·Israelites [^Lfeet of Israel] ·leave [wander from; ^Cinto exile] the land I ·gave to [appointed for] their ·ancestors [fathers]. But they must ·obey [be careful to do] everything I have commanded them in all the ·teachings [instructions; laws], ·rules [statutes; ordinances; requirements], and ·commands [judgments] I gave them through Moses.” ⁹ But Manasseh led the people of Judah and Jerusalem ·to do wrong [astray]. They did more evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed ahead of the Israelites.
