2 Chronicles 33:2
Verse 2 of 25. The 33rd of 36 chapters in 2 Chronicles, in History.
1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
3For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he raised up altars for the Baals, made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
5He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.
6He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
