3He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, set up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as King Ahab of Israel had done. He bowed down to all the host of heaven and served them.
4He built altars in the house of the LORD, about which the LORD had said, 'In Jerusalem I will put My name.'
5He built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the LORD's house.
6He 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.
