2 Kings 21:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, following the abominable practices of the nations whom the Lord had dispossessed before the Israelites. 3 He rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed. He set up altars to Baal and also made an asherah, as Ahab, king of Israel, had done. He bowed down to the whole host of heaven and served them.(A) 4 He built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said: In Jerusalem I will set my name.
