He bowed down to all the host of heaven and served them. 4 He built altars in the house of the LORD, about which the LORD had said, 'In Jerusalem I will put My name.' 5 He built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the LORD's house. 6 He sacrificed his own son by fire, practiced divination and omen reading, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger. 7 He placed the carved Asherah image he had made in the house about which the LORD had said to David and to Solomon his son: 'In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever. 8 I will no longer make Israel's feet wander from the land I gave their fathers, if only they will carefully do everything I commanded them and keep the whole law that My servant Moses gave them.' 9 But they did not listen.
