2 Kings 21:2-9 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to the detestable things of the nations that the LORD had driven out from the presence of the Israelites.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ² He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to the detestable things of the nations that the LORD had driven out from the presence of the Israelites. ³ He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed. He erected altars for Baal, crafted an Asherah, just as King Ahab of Israel had done, and worshipped and served the stars of heaven. ⁴ And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, In Jerusalem I will put My name. ⁵ He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house. ⁶ He made his son to pass through the fire, and practiced sorcery, and practiced divination, and consulted mediums, and spiritists: he worked much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. ⁷ He put the image of the Asherah that he had made in the temple which the LORD had said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this temple and in Jerusalem which I have chosen from all of the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever. ⁸ And I will not again make the feet of Israel wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they observe to do all that I commanded them, and to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them. ⁹ But they would not listen. Manasseh led them astray to practice more evil than the nations whom the LORD had destroyed in the presence of the Israelites.
