2 Kings 16:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was pleasing in the sight of the Lord his God, as David his father.

³ But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel: moreover he consecrated also his son, making him pass through the fire according to the idols of the nations: which the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.

⁴ He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places and on the hills, and under every green tree.
