For he rebuilt the [a]high places (B)which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a [b]wooden image, (C)as Ahab king of Israel had done; and he (D)worshiped all [c]the host of heaven and served them. (E)He also built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, (F)“In Jerusalem I will put My name.”
