2 Kings 21:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ He rebuilt the illegal places of worship that his father Hezekiah had destroyed. He set up altars dedicated to Baal and made a pole dedicated to the goddess Asherah as King Ahab of Israel had done. Manasseh, like Ahab, worshiped and served the entire army of heaven. ⁴ He built altars in the Lord’s temple, where the Lord had said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.” ⁵ In the two courtyards of the Lord’s temple, he built altars for the entire army of heaven.
