2 Kings 21:2-4
Good News Translation
2 (A)Following the disgusting practices of the nations whom the Lord had driven out of the land as his people advanced, Manasseh sinned against the Lord. 3 He rebuilt the pagan places of worship that his father Hezekiah had destroyed; he built altars for the worship of Baal and made an image of the goddess Asherah, as King Ahab of Israel had done. Manasseh also worshiped the stars. 4 (B)He built pagan altars in the Temple, the place that the Lord had said was where he should be worshiped.
