2 Kings 21:2-4
New King James Version
2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, (A)according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. 3 For he rebuilt the [a]high places (B)which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a [b]wooden image, (C)as Ahab king of Israel had done; and he (D)worshiped all [c]the host of heaven and served them. 4 (E)He also built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, (F)“In Jerusalem I will put My name.”
