Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
3 For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel, and worshiped all the [starry] hosts of the heavens and served them!
4 And he built [heathen] altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said, In Jerusalem will I put My [a]Name [and the pledge of My presence].
5 And he [good Hezekiah’s son] built altars for all the hosts of the heavens in the two courts of the house of the Lord!
