2 Kings 21:6-8
English Standard Version Anglicised
6 (A)And he burned his son as an offering[a] and (B)used fortune-telling and (C)omens and dealt (D)with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 7 And the carved image of (E)Asherah that he had made he set in the house of which the Lord said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, (F)and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever. 8 (G)And I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land that I gave to their fathers, if only they will be careful to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the Law that my servant Moses commanded them.”
