1 Manasseh awas twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.
2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, aaccording to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
3 For he rebuilt the1 high places awhich Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a wooden image, bas Ahab king of Israel had done; and he cworshiped all the host of heaven and served them.
4 aHe also built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, b“In Jerusalem I will put My name.”
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the atwo courts of the house of the Lord.
