2 Kings 21:3 DBY

¹  Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hephzibah.

²  And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.

³  And he built again the high places that Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars to Baal and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

⁴  And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

⁵  And he built altars to all the host of heaven in both courts of the house of Jehovah.
