2 Chronicles 33:2-7
Legacy Standard Bible
2 (A)And he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh dispossessed before the sons of Israel. 3 Indeed, (B)he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had torn down; and (C)he erected altars for the Baals and made [a]Asherim, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them. 4 (D)And he built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh had said, “(E)In Jerusalem My name shall be forever.” 5 Indeed, he built altars for all the host of heaven in (F)the two courts of the house of Yahweh. 6 (G)He even made his sons pass through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom; and he practiced soothsaying, interpreted omens, practiced sorcery, and (H)dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much that was evil in the sight of Yahweh, provoking Him to anger. 7 Then he put (I)the graven image of the [b]idol, which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, “(J)In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever.
