1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he was ruling for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.
3 For he put up again the high places which had been pulled down by his father Hezekiah; and he made altars for the Baals, and pillars of wood, and was a worshipper and servant of all the stars of heaven;
4 And he made altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will my name be for ever.
5 And he made altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.
